On 14 June 2025, MSC officially launched MSC GERMANY, its newest LNG dual-fuel container ship, during the MSC Yellow Festival held in Hamburg, according to the company's release.
This vessel represents a significant advancement in the shipping industry’s move toward sustainability, combining modern technology with environmental responsibility.
MSC GERMANY is powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), enabling it to operate with significantly reduced emissions compared to traditional fuel-powered ships.
