Bahamas flags Carnival’s LNG-powered passenger ship
The Bahamas Maritime Authority (BMA) said June 3 it welcomed the first LNG-powered passenger ship in North America to its flag.
Carnival Cruise Lines registered its LNG-powered passenger ship,
Mardi Gras, with the maritime authority.
“Along with the new LNG technology, the ship features a number of other ground-breaking attractions and amenities for its shipboard customers, but it is its use of an alternative fuel source that will have one of the greatest impacts on the maritime environment as the ship will be the first LNG powered vessel to operate in North America,” the BMA said.
