Natural Gas NOW readers pass along a lot of stuff every week about natural gas, fractivist antics, emissions, renewables, and other news relating to energy.
It seems there’s nothing natural gas can’t do:
Princess Cruises announced plans on Monday for construction of two new cruise ships — larger than ever and powered by liquid natural gas.
The California-based cruise line will add the as-yet unnamed ships in 2023 and 2025 to its current fleet of 17 ships, along with with three more ships currently under construction for the company.
A statement Monday named Italy’s Fincantieri as the shipbuilder of the new newest cruise ships, which will be capable of carrying about 4,300 passengers — roughly 700 more than Princess Cruise’s newest ships.
As of today, the ships announced Monday would be the fifth- and sixth-largest cruise vessels in the world.
