Canaveral Port Authority

SEEING DOUBLE AT PORT CANAVERAL: Two + two equals a first in North America when two ATB tug-barges provided ship-to-ship LNG refueling of two LNG-powered homeported cruise ships at Port Canaveral. The sister vessels Clean Canaveral and Clean Everglades provided LNG fuel to the Disney Wish and Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas respectively while each vessel was alongside their cruise terminals. JAX LNG, a joint venture between Pivotal LNG and Seaside LNG, is the fuel supplier. Port Canaveral made history in early 2021 as America's first cruise port capable of handling cleaner burning LNG fuel operations for cruise ships with the LNG bunkering (refueling) for Carnival Cruise Line’s Mardi Gras.
