Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) has been ranked by green lobby group Transport & Environment as one of the top 10 polluters in Europe.
The Swiss-based liner operator’s ships emitted 11m tonnes of CO2 last year on journeys to and from, or within, the European Union.
That made the Diego Aponte-led container carrier the eighth-worst polluting company on the list, which until now had been the exclusive preserve of coal-fired power stations.
