MSC GROUP’S CRUISE DIVISION TURNS TO SMART CONTAINERS FOR DELIVERY OF THE FRESHEST FOOD

London, UK, 19 August 2024 - MSC Cruises and Explora Journeys have linked up with sister company MSC, the world leader in container shipping, to use smart containers to guarantee that the freshest produce is loaded onto the lines’ ships after delivery from a warehouse.

Each smart container is fitted with internet connected devices to collect data such as position, temperature and humidity, and monitored remotely around the clock from a centralised Customer Service Centre in Antwerp, Belgium.

A problem in transit during the transportation of goods by road or sea triggers an alert to the supplier that can then be resolved en route to ensure that food products that depend on the exact environment for freshness can be delivered without having to dispatch a costly replacement.

The smart containers are particularly beneficial for chilled and frozen goods such as meat, seafood and dairy produce.
MSC Cruises and Explora Journeys both source most of their food locally – some 96 per cent - but in the event of a product not being available locally, goods are taken to ships from a series of warehouses around the world.

From the northern Italian warehouse in Genoa, MSC Cruises last year used smart containers and saw an improved level of quality assurance than in 2022 when the line used traditional means of transporting food by road and sea.

The scale of the overall food delivery operation is considerable. Every year MSC Cruises’ fleet of 22 ships is stocked with 5,500 different items of food and beverage, including 32 million eggs, 6 million litres of milk, 170,000 oysters, 2 million tomatoes, 900,000 kg of apples and 800,000 kg of lemons.

Each of MSC Cruises’ 22 ships carries on average 22,500 kg of fresh fruit, 20,000 kg of fresh vegetables and 5,400 kg of fish during a 7-night voyage.

Paolo Raia, Managing Director, MSC Procurement & Logistics, said, “The use of smart containers has made a significant positive impact on the supply of food, especially in markets where it is a challenge to source and acquire all of the products locally. For example, for our ships in the Middle East the local production is limited, and some goods can take several weeks travelling from the warehouse to the vessel.

“Another major advantage with smart containers is that in real time we can constantly monitor the humidity and temperature of the goods being transported and change the parameters in transit, if required, to deliver with absolute confidence the freshest and finest food for our guests.”

Some fun facts!
Annually, MSC Cruises’ fleet of ships is stocked with the following provisions.
• Extra virgin olive oil – 223,000 litres
• Flour – 5 million kg
• Pulses – 379,000 kg
• Beer – 8 million litres
• Cold cut meats – 383,000 kg
• Soy sauce – 54,000 litres
• Wasabi – 1,000 kg
• Quinoa – 20,000 kg

A typical 7-night voyage will be stocked with the following provisions.
• Butter – 1,000 kg
• Wine – 9,500 bottles
• Sugar – 2,200 kg
• Rice – 3,200 kg

‼️ NEWS ALERT ‼️

MSC CRUISES TO REDUCE FLEETWIDE EMISSIONS BY UP TO 15 PER CENT WITH NEW ITINERARY PLANNING OPTIMISATION TOOL

London, UK, 5 August 2024 - MSC Cruises will see its fleet of ships’ emissions reduced by up to 15 per cent in 2026 thanks to the introduction of a new itinerary planning optimisation tool called OptiCruise.

The line has developed a new mathematical model with OPTIMeasy, a research company affiliated to the University of Genoa, that comprehensively examined numerous factors that influence the planning of each of MSC Cruises’ itineraries to achieve the optimum level of efficiency for a sailing while maintaining or enhancing guest satisfaction.

Voyage planning within the global cruise industry has traditionally been heavily weighted towards the attractiveness of ship destinations for potential holidaymakers.

OptiCruise broadens the scope substantially to include numerous other aspects which influence an itinerary’s efficiency, including sequencing of the port calls, departure and arrival times at ports, a ship’s speed, the appeal and attractiveness of destinations for a holidaymaker, shore excursions, and operational costs such as fuel, port charges and food provisions.

The tool’s algorithms use all of the information to identify optimised itineraries, which continue to appeal for guests, while allowing for energy efficiency.

Cruise ship itinerary planning typically takes place two years before a sailing and OptiCruise’s benefits will be evidenced in 2026 when MSC Cruises’ fleet will number 24 ships.

MSC Bellissima was chosen to evaluate the prototype technology over a 12-month period as the ship sailed between 17 ports in the Mediterranean Sea.

MSC Cruises’ strategy to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 for its marine operations is focused on three key areas - ship and engine technology, operational efficiency and renewable fuels. OptiCruise comes under the operational efficiency focus with the cruise line making greater use of digitalisation to drive efficiencies in energy consumption.

Michele Francioni, Chief Energy Transition Officer, MSC Cruises, said, “We have identified and developed this new technology to optimise the decision-making process of itinerary planning with the aim to further reduce emissions across our fleet from 2026.

“The OPTIMeasy team calculates that the average fuel savings made, and emissions reduced by using OptiCruise are in the range of 10-15 per cent which is a significant step forward in our ambition to achieve our net zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050 for our marine operations.”

OptiCruise was developed as part of the European Union’s funded Project CHEK, that was established to investigate and trial several low-carbon shipping opportunities including energy technologies and innovative ship designs.

The mathematical model was accepted for development by Project CHEK as it was recognised as a factor that could substantially reduce emissions, not just for MSC Cruises but across the entire cruise industry.

The CHEK Project is part of the EU’s Horizon research and innovation programme and led by the University of Vaasa in Finland. The consortium includes, as well as MSC Cruises, the World Maritime University, Wärtsilä, Cargill and Lloyds Register, among others.
