MSC and Moby Lines have teamed up on an order for new luxury cruise ferries in China.
The Italian companies said four LNG-ready 2,500-passenger, 3,765-lane-metre ships have been contracted at Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI).
There is also an option for four more vessels.
MSC's GNV operation will receive the first and third ferries, while the Onorato-controlled Moby will take the second and fourth.
