An emergency response occurred on the morning of Sep 29, 2025, aboard the 'MSC Aurelia' in the port of Ancona, where a 40-year-old man of Italian origin and resident in Puglia was treated for an alcohol-related illness. The 'MSC Aurelia' berthed at dock number 15 a few minutes after 7:00 a.m. Ancona Yellow Cross paramedics, alerted by the emergency operations center, were awaiting the ship, along with Port Authority personnel. The passenger, found severely impaired and unable to stand, was taken care of by a rescue crew and subsequently transported to the emergency room of the Torrette Regional Hospital, where he was handed over to medical personnel for treatment.
Ship to serve as shelter for earthquake victims
The 'MSC Aurelia' with a 906-bed capacity has berthed in Iskenderun early on Feb 21, 2021, as a shelter for earthquake victims in southern Hatay's Iskenderun district. She has been brought to the port under the coordination of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure after the major destruction caused by the 7.7 and 7.6 earthquakes that left more than 41,000 people killed and over 105,000 injured according to latest official figures. Many of the victims were settled in tents set up under the coordination of Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) and national and international aid teams. Initially a ship with 400 cabins and 1,056 beds was brought to the port in the district by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources for purpose of hosting quake survivors. Now, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure also took action and signed an agreement with the ship.

Too much emissions: Zaandam cannot receive Ukrainian refugees aboard the Aurelia
The Zaanstad municipaliy is not going to receive refugees from Ukraine on the 'Aurelia' because the generators on the ship emit too much nitrogen. The 'Aurelia' could accommodate 1078 people. In May, the municipality announced that it was investigating whether it was possible to receive the ship. But on July 25, 2022, it was announced that the plan has been aborted. The ship emits more nitrogen than allowed because it is an older ship that cannot be connected to shore power. As a result, generators are needed. The municipality has examined all measures to limit the nitrogen emissions, but they did not help enough to keep them in compliance with the nitrogen regulations. The municipality will continue to look for other reception locations, possibly on other ships.
