Carnival Corporation is set to enhance its fleet's efficiency by incorporating innovative bunker-saving air lubrication systems on two additional cruise liners. These advanced systems, developed by Silverstream Technologies, will be installed on two state-of-the-art, liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered cruise ships. Each vessel boasts a significant gross tonnage of 180,000, underscoring their substantial size and capacity. The installation of these systems is anticipated to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions, contributing to more sustainable and environmentally friendly maritime operations. The delivery of these cutting-edge ships is scheduled for 2027 and 2028, marking another step in Carnival's ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability in the cruise industry. This initiative not only highlights the company's dedication to reducing its carbon footprint but also positions it as a leader in adopting green technologies in the maritime sector.

Carnival Corporation Leads the Charge with on Shore Power at PortMiami 🚢 Carnival Conquest, representing Carnival Corporation, has become the first cruise ship to connect to shore power at PortMiami, the world’s leading cruise port. 🌟 Industry Partnership & Implementation Thanks to a collaborative effort between Miami-Dade County, Florida Power & Light, and several cruise lines, PortMiami is now the first major cruise port on the U.S. eastern seaboard to offer shore power connections at five cruise berths. 🌿 Advancing Shore Power Capabilities Carnival Corporation leads the industry with 67% of its shore power-capable fleet, surpassing its 2030 shore power goal in 2023. CEO Josh Weinstein emphasizes shore power as crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact. ⚡ Benefits of Shore Power: Using shoreside electricity, cruise ships can reduce total emissions by up to 98% while docked. Carnival Corporation’s commitment to shore power aligns with its broader #decarbonization strategy, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas #emissions by 2050. 🔗 Learn more about #Carnival Corporation’s sustainability initiatives: https://lnkd.in/eXVDdFr7

🌍 A Cleaner, Greener Future for Shipping 🌊 Exciting news from Portsmouth International Port! They’ve taken another major step toward sustainable maritime operations by introducing LNG bunkering services. This new capability enables cruise ships and commercial vessels to refuel with liquefied natural gas (LNG), a cleaner alternative that significantly reduces emissions. As a carbon-neutral port aiming to set the standard for green innovation, Portsmouth is paving the way for a more sustainable shipping industry while supporting the transition to cleaner fuel solutions. This development aligns perfectly with global efforts to meet net-zero targets and reflects the growing commitment of ports and shipping companies to protect our planet for future generations. Congratulations to the Portsmouth International Port team for leading the way toward more sustainable sailings! 🌱⚓ #Sustainability #GreenShipping #MaritimeInnovation #LNG #CleanEnergy #Portsmouth

To comply with IMO 2023 GHG Strategy, the ships need to count on the measures also taken by the ports. Here is an example: shore power supply at Port of Miami.

We are proud to announce that #CarnivalConquest, representing #CarnivalCorporation&plc , has inaugurated the use of shore power at #PortMiami, making it the first major cruise port on the U.S. East Coast to offer this technology at five cruise ship berths. This achievement is the result of a collaborative effort with Miami-Dade County and #FloridaPower & Light Company. The selection of Carnival Conquest for the inaugural connection in Miami comes right after Carnival Corporation exceeded its shore power goal for 2030 in 2023, seven years ahead of schedule. “Using shore power to power our ships while in port is an integral part of our global strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and minimize our environmental impact,” said #JoshWeinstein, CEO of Carnival Corporation & plc. Shore power allows ships to turn off their engines while docked and connect to the local electrical grid, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. #CarnivalCorporation has equipped two-thirds of its global fleet with shore power capabilities, exceeding our #2030 goal in #2023. This initiative is a key component of our broader strategy to achieve #netzero greenhouse gas emissions by #2050. #Sustainability #ShorePower #CarnivalCorporation #PortMiami #GreenCruising #CarnivalMaritime #roadtonetzeroemissions
