Malta in a historic agreement with Carnival Corporation
The Maltese government has today reaffirmed its commitment to a sustainable economic future through the signing of the first Power Purchase Agreement in the Mediterranean cruise region with Carnival UK & P&O Cruises on behalf of all Carnival Corp brands.
Addressing a press conference, Prime Minister Robert Abela emphasised the importance of the Shore Power Initiative. “We are here today to show how we are embracing a sustainable economic model that prioritises innovation, efficiency, and environmental stewardship,” Prime Minister Abela said.
The introduction of fully electrified cruise berths developed under the Shore-to-Ship initiative will transform Malta’s maritime infrastructure, allowing cruise ships to reduce their carbon footprint by drawing power from the grid while in port.
Through an agreement signed with Transport Malta, Carnival Corp cruise ships will be able to connect to the shore power grid.
