Caribbean LNG bunkering infrastructure grows as cruise operators adopt cleaner fuels
LNG bunkering infrastructure is expanding in the Caribbean as cruise operators increase their use of LNG and bioLNG as lower-emission marine fuels. Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas received an LNG bunkering operation from the 7,500-m3 Avenir Advantage at Roatan on August 18th. Carnival Corporation now operates 11 LNG-capable ships with 7 additional vessels scheduled by the end of 2033. According to DNV Alternative Fuels Insights, 67 LNG bunker vessels are currently in operation, with the global fleet expected to exceed 100 ships by 2028.
