Sawgrass LNG & Power completes LNG bunkering in Port Everglades

An Orient Express cruise ship has been bunkered with around 320 cbm (143 mt) of LNG in a truck-to-ship operation at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, US.

Port Everglades is a deep-water seaport in South Florida, located close to major Atlantic Ocean shipping lanes.

The LNG dual-fuel cruise ship Orient Express Corinthian arrived at the port on 2 November, according to a social media update by the port authority. It was subsequently bunkered on 3 November.

US-based supplier Sawgrass LNG & Power supplied the fuel from its Miami facility, with eight trucks used for the bunkering operation.
