Another big MSC day is coming up tomorrow – and this time you can follow the ribbon cutting LIVE! 🔴
Early afternoon tomorrow we will go live on LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook with the naming ceremony of MSC Mette from Fos-sur-Mer in France.
The MSC Mette, one of our new record-breaking vessels, is named after Mette Toft, the wife of MSC CEO Soren Toft (@ToftSoren).
For now, here’s a video filmed today in Fos-sur-Mer as MSC Mette got ready for her big day tomorrow! 💛
Today, MSC Nicola Mastro was named in Trieste! 💛⚓️
More than 600 guests attended the big celebration and naming ceremony of one of the world's largest and most fuel-efficient container ships by design.
In his speech, MSC Group President Diego Aponte paid tribute to Captain Nicola Mastro whom the vessel is named after. Among other things, Mr. Aponte said:
"He was one of the most important pillars of MSC. A great professional, one of the best captains of our fleet. A cheerful person who always found a solution to everything. But above all a very close friend with whom I travelled the world, and I’ve learned so much from being close to him for so many years."
The event also included speeches by MSC CEO @ToftSoren, @MSC_Foundation Executive Director Daniela Picco, various local authorities as well as a fantastic performance by violinist Andrea Casta and gymnast Giada Grisetti. This was followed by the ceremonial ribbon cutting and champagne breaking 🍾 🚢 🎊

“Ne composez jamais avec l'extrémisme, le racisme, l'antisémitisme ou le rejet de l'autre. Dans notre histoire l'extrémisme a déjà failli nous conduire à l'abîme. C'est un poison. Il divise. Il pervertit, il détruit. Tout dans l'âme de la France dit non à l'extrémisme”

Putin's tactic has always been to take territory by force and then sue for peace while he consolidates and rearms. His victims are pressured by the West to accept anything so they can get back to business as usual. Not again.
