Finland’s Meyer Turku is moving forward with the construction of the first of three giant LNG-powered cruise ships it is building for Royal Caribbean International in order to deliver the vessel next year.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eagle LNG Partners LLC (“Eagle LNG”) announced today it has partnered with the Royal Caribbean Group to provide liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering for the cruise company’s LNG ships, including the first ship debuting in 2023 — Icon of the Seas, the first ship in the Icon Class for the company’s Royal Caribbean International brand. Eagle LNG will debut multiple purpose-built LNG vessels equipped for marine bunkering and gas delivery throughout the Caribbean.

Eagle LNG marked a series of firsts when it fueled the 7,500-car carrier SIEM Aristotle from its Talleyrand LNG Bunker Station at the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) in Jacksonville, Florida. It was the first time SIEM has refueled the vessel from a landside bunkering facility and the first ship that Eagle LNG refueled of that size from the bunkering facility.

Indian multinational and one of the world's leading manufacturers of cryogenic equipment and solutions provider, INOXCVA has been awarded a contract by Caribbean LNG Inc. for Design, Engineering & Supply on a turnkey basis for a Mini LNG receiving and regasification terminal to be set up in Antigua, West Indies. Caribbean LNG Inc. is a Joint Venture between Eagle LNG Partners ('Eagle LNG') and Antigua Power Company ('APC'). The terminal will provide natural gas for APC's on-island 40 MW power plant. The terminal is expected to be a future template and anchor plant to service power and other energy requirements in the Eastern Caribbean Islands. 

The creation of a 40-megawatt liquid natural gas fuel terminal was officially launched. The ribbon cutting ceremony took place at APUA’s Crabbs Peninsula site where the 40 mega-watts Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Fuel Terminal project will be constructed and operated. This environmentally friendly initiative is expected to “not only positively impact the country’s environment as it will produce cleaner energy”, but will also “ascend Antigua and Barbuda to the forefront of this new cutting-edge technology in the Eastern Caribbean as the twin island will be the first Caribbean country in the sub-region that will use LNG fuel to power the country, sticking to the government’s commitment for greener energy”.
