Seaside LNG announces inaugural LNG bunkering of Carnival Jubilee
Seaside LNG on January 24 announced its inaugural LNG delivery to the Carnival Jubilee, a cruise ship propelled by LNG, stationed in Galveston, Texas. This delivery, executed on December 30, marked not only the first in-port ship-to-ship LNG bunkering operation in Galveston but also the entire US Gulf Coast.
Seaside LNG forged a strategic term bunkering agreement with Carnival Corporation in November last year.
In a parallel development, Clean Everglades, the newest member of the Seaside LNG fleet, made its first delivery last week. The delivery was made to Isla Bella at the TOTE Maritime’s terminal near Jacksonville, Florida. The operation was a regularly scheduled delivery per TOTE’s long-term service contract with Seaside’s maritime transportation company, Polaris New Energy.
Seaside took delivery of Clean Everglades, a tug barge that holds 5,500 m3 of LNG, in October 2023. In addition, TOTE Services acts as Seaside’s operating partner for both the Clean Jacksonville and Clean Everglades.
