UPI: Carnival to power cruise ships with LNG
By Daniel J. Graeber: Oct 3, 2016
Maritime travel company Carnival Corp. said Monday it signed a deal to power its cruise ships with liquefied natural gas from Dutch energy company Shell.
Carnival said it signed up to become the first company of its kind to power vessels with liquefied natural gas. At the onset, Shell will supply LNG to two ships set for launch in 2019. The travel company said the agreement is part of a green initiative meant to reduce its environmental footprint.
“We are committed to reducing our air emissions and improving air quality by evaluating new and established solutions such as LNG — an especially promising option because of its environmental and other benefits,” Tom Strang, senior vice president of maritime affairs for Carnival Corp., said in a statement.
Shell this year gained leverage in the liquefied natural gas market with its acquisition of rival BG Group.
Costs for the combined entity move lower by about $4 billion, but also led to “substantial” charges related to redundancies and restructuring changes for Shell. Before the agreement, BG Group was cleared by U.S. regulators to start building a liquefied natural gas export facility in Lake Charles, La.
The project in Lake Charles has conditional approval from federal regulators to export up to 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day in the cooler liquid form.
Shell in the statement on the agreement with Carnival said the agreement gives it a unique opportunity in an unconventional business segment.
“Working together from an early stage is critical in helping the transition to cleaner LNG cruising,” Lauran Wetemans, a general manager for Shell’s LNG business, said.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
