The Carnival Cruise Line has held a formal naming ceremony to mark the completion of the debut voyage of its second liquefied natural gas-powered ship bult at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland.
The largest cruise liner ever built for Carnival Cruise Corp. of the US, the LNG-powered liner “Mardi Gras”, has begun a series of sea trials from the Finnish Meyer Turku shipyard ahead of moving to its base in Florida to begin operations in February 2021 as the cruise industry continues to boost future demand for LNG maritime fuel.
