中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社12月12日报道,周三,嘉年华公司在德国推出了第一艘LNG动力船,作为世界上最大的邮轮运营商,该公司正努力减少其碳足迹。
增加LNG船舶是嘉年华公司正在进行的船队增强战略的一部分,预计20艘新船将在2018年至2025年之间交付。
在国际海事组织出台了严格的海洋燃料使用新规则后,航运业不得不寻求更清洁的选择,如液化天然气。
像直布罗陀这样具有战略重要性的港口,已经准备提供升级的设施,以满足LNG动力船只的燃料需求。
嘉年华公司表示,它的新船“AIDAnova”号是AIDA邮轮系列的一部分,已经开始在加那利群岛和马德拉岛上进行为期7天的假日巡航。

Addition of LNG ships are part of Carnival’s ongoing fleet enhancement strategy and 20 new vessels are scheduled for delivery between 2018 and 2025. The shipping industry have been forced to look for cleaner options such as LNG after the International Maritime Organization introduced tough new rules on use of marine fuel. Strategically important ports such as Gibraltar are already preparing to offer upgraded facilities to meet the fuel demand for LNG-powered vessels. Carnival Corp said its new vessel AIDAnova, which is part of the AIDA line of cruises, has started off on a seven-day holiday cruise around the Canary Islands and Madeira. The Miami-based company had announced AIDAnova’s maiden voyage in September.
