The Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife Begins LNG Supply Season with the "Arvia" Vessel

The Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife has carried out the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply operation of the cruise season for the "Arvia" vessel, which has received 1,000 tons of this fuel.

During this season, the port expects to carry out up to 33 LNG supply operations for cruise ships, an increase of 83.3% compared to the previous campaign, when 18 operations were conducted.

Among the shipping companies that will use this fuel during their stops in Tenerife are Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean International, and TUI Cruises. In this regard, the tourist cruise "Arvia," operated by P&O Cruises, has been the first to receive the supply in this new season.

The operation was carried out from the barge "New Frontier 1" (IMO 9765079) registered in Malta and managed by Erhardt Shipping Services in Tenerife. The cruise ship received 1,000 tons of LNG while docked at the Ribera quay, in the cruise terminal.

The tourist cruise "Arvia," managed by Pérez y Cía., arrived at the port from Southampton, United Kingdom, with approximately 5,300 passengers and 1,670 crew members on board.
