Mardi Gras’ refueling process took nearly eight hours via a new fueling barge, called the Q-LNG 4000, that delivered enough LNG to power the vessel’s four engines for approximately 14 days. March 1, 2020 LNG bunkering operation for the Carnival Mardi Gras, provided by the Q-LNG-4000, an LNG fuel supplier from Shell Trading Company and Q-LNG Transport Fuel barge alongside for the first fueling in Port Canaveral (Carnival Cruise Line) Carnival Cruise Line is building a sister ship to the Mardi Gras, named Carnival Celebration, due to enter New fueling technology used for cruise ship. Carnival Cruise's Mardi Gras ship, set to begin sailing from Port Canaveral, will be the first cruise ship in America to be powered by liquid natural gas. ABOARD THE MARDI GRAS -- Every Carnival Cruise Line ship since the original Mardi Gras in 1972 has sported a distinctive T-shaped funnel, and the newest ship in the fleet, the 2020 version of Marine engines are true "dual fuel" engines, that can run on any mixture of liquid fuel (from diesel to heavy fuel) and LNG from 100% liquid to 95% LNG. Note that these engines cannot run on straight LNG, since LNG has too high an auto-ignition temperature, and requires spark ignition which marine diesels don't have. In conjunction with Earth Day, Carnival Cruise Line is highlighting the environmental benefits of liquefied natural gas (LNG), a new fuel to be used on two new ships - Mardi Gras, set to debut later this year from Port Canaveral, and Carnival Celebration, scheduled to enter service from PortMiami in 2022. Mardi Gras – the first cruise ship in the Americas powered by eco-friendly Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) – refueled for the first time at its homeport of Port Canaveral which built the new Terminal 3 to accommodate this game-changing ship. The ship made its U.S. debut docking for the first time at Port Canaveral on Friday. Carnival’s Mardi Gras is the first cruise ship in North America to be powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Since arriving to much fanfare at Port Canaveral, Florida on Friday, Mardi Gras received her first refueling, while she was berthed at her home at the brand-new Terminal 3. Carnival's Mardi Gras can hold 3,600 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas — enough fuel for a 14-day cruise with passengers. with about 1,140 metric tons or 2,667 cubic meters of LNG fuel During 2023, we piloted the use of biofuel as a replacement for fossil fuel on a third ship (after two successful trials in 2022). After AIDAprima became the first large-scale cruise ship to be powered with a blend of marine biofuel, made from 100% sustainable raw materials, and marine gasoil (“MGO”), Holland America Line completed two pilots on Volendam, one using a blend of marine Frost covers part of the LNG fuel system on Carnival's Mardi Gras.

Set Sail Aboard Mardi Gras® Carnival's Mardi Gras, the greenest cruise ship in North America, the first to be powered by clean-burning liquefied natural gas (or "LNG"). This ship will follow in its lead by introducing features and technological innovations never seen before. Mardi Gras is the line’s first ship powered by Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), a cheaper and cleaner burning alternative to bunker fuel. Currently there haven’t been any plans to modify Carnival The origins of Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras traces its roots to ancient Roman festivals like Saturnalia, which involved feasting and revelry.
