Seaside LNG’s Clean Jacksonville Sets Sail in Texas!
Ahoy there, maritime enthusiasts! We’ve got some exciting news to share from the high seas. Seaside LNG, a key player in the commercial maritime industry, has made waves with the deployment of its state-of-the-art liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering barge, the Clean Jacksonville, in the bustling port of Galveston, Texas.
The Clean Jacksonville has been making headlines as it recently achieved a significant milestone by delivering LNG fuel to the Carnival Jubilee, a majestic Carnival cruise ship, in what marks the first ship-to-ship LNG bunkering delivery along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The bunkering operation, which took place on December 30, 2023, was the result of meticulous planning and coordination with various stakeholders, including the Port of Galveston.
This impressive 2,200 cubic meter bunkering barge, formerly stationed in Florida, has been redeployed to serve the Texas Gulf Coast following Seaside LNG’s strategic bunkering agreement with Carnival Corporation. With a track record of over 350 successful bunkering operations, the Clean Jacksonville is truly a force to be reckoned with.
But that’s not all – brace yourselves for more maritime marvels! Seaside LNG has upped the ante with the addition of the Clean Everglades, a robust 5,500 cubic meter capacity bunkering barge, to its esteemed fleet. Tim Casey, the CEO of Seaside LNG, expressed his team’s excitement and gratitude, stating, “The Seaside LNG team is excited to start 2024 off strong with these two deliveries. We appreciate the trust our customers put in us to arrange these important fueling operations.”
With the global demand for cleaner maritime fuels on the rise, Seaside LNG is poised to lead the charge in meeting this burgeoning need. The deployment of the Clean Jacksonville and the introduction of the Clean Everglades signal Seaside LNG’s unwavering commitment to delivering sustainable and efficient LNG bunkering solutions for the maritime industry.
In closing, as Seaside LNG continues to chart a course toward a greener, more innovative future for maritime fueling, the company’s endeavors in Texas and beyond serve as a testament to the industry’s ongoing evolution. So, here’s to the Clean Jacksonville and the Clean Everglades – may they continue to navigate the seas, fueling a cleaner, more sustainable maritime future!
