The rings are fully seated at first run, and the precision of the surface finish reduces fuel consumption by about 3% and lowers emissions. The Mardi Gras has a capacity of 3,600 cubic meters of LNG, enough to power the cruise ship’s four engines for approximately 14 days. The newly built barge, which will regularly fuel the cruise Each engine produces around 50,000 horsepower, equivalent to 746 watts.

The ship made its U.S. debut docking for the first time at Port Canaveral on Friday.

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. How many gallons of oil does a cruise ship engine hold? Large cruise ship (900–1,100 feet): 1–2 million gallons. Inland tank barge (200–300 feet): 400,000–1.2 million gallons.
