First cruise ship refuels with LNG in Vancouver
The first-ever cruise ship (Silver Nova) has filled up with an alternative fuel at the Port of Vancouver, receiving LNG (liquefied natural gas) from Seaspan Energy’s LNG bunker vessel Seaspan Garibaldi as it prepares to sail to Alaska.
LNG is the first alternative fuel available in significant quantities for the international maritime sector that has been approved for local bunkering—or ship refueling services—with deep-sea vessels now able to refuel with it at the Port of Vancouver.
The adoption of LNG bunkering at the port marks an important milestone as the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority supports industry efforts to enhance sustainability and reduce emissions.
