Background 

According to the ship’s operator, Royal Caribbean, the Jankovich Company will deliver the fuel to the ship on behalf of WFS.

Royal Caribbean has declared the bunker operation to be the first in the US for a vessel regulated by a leading cruise line cruising from a US port wielding renewable fuel.
