  • Port Canaveral has successfully conducted the first-ever simultaneous LNG bunkering of two cruise ships in North America.
  • The port’s sister vessels, Clean Canaveral and Clean Everglades, provided LNG fuel to Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Wish and Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas while both ships were docked at their respective cruise terminals.

Port Canaveral, Florida, has made history by successfully conducting simultaneous LNG bunkering operations for two cruise ships. This groundbreaking achievement solidifies the port’s position as a leader in clean fuel infrastructure.

Port Canaveral Makes History

This achievement solidifies Port Canaveral’s position as a pioneer in the adoption of cleaner fuels for the cruise industry. The port first introduced LNG bunkering capabilities in early 2021, with Carnival Cruise Line’s Mardi Gras being the inaugural vessel to utilize the cleaner fuel.

Partnership for Success

JAX LNG, a joint venture between Pivotal LNG and Seaside LNG, supplied the LNG fuel for the bunkering operations. The successful collaboration between Port Canaveral and JAX LNG demonstrates the region’s commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly port operations.
