Gasum completes bio-LNG bunkering op of Royal Caribbean cruise ship

Nordic energy company Gasum on Friday (9 August) said it refuelled Royal Caribbean’s newest cruise ship Utopia of the Seas with liquefied biogas (bio-LNG) at the end of June. 

The ship is an Oasis class cruise ship, the first in the class to be powered by LNG. As an LNG-powered ship it can also run on bio-LNG or a mixture of both.

“Utopia of the Seas was built by Chantiers de l’Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire, France, and sailed towards its home base at Port Canaveral in Florida on the bunkered bio-LNG,” Gasum said in a social media post.

“At Gasum we produce biomethane at our own 17 biogas plants and supply bio-LNG to our maritime customers on a mass balance basis. We will also start distributing synthetic e-methane around 2026.”
