Nassau Cruise Port receives $180M LNG-fuelled shore power upgrade
What happened
A nearly $180 million project is supplying cleaner LNG-fuelled shore power to vessels docked at Nassau Cruise Port. The system links the 70 MW Arawak Cay power plant to the port via an underwater cable. The project team estimates completion within 12 to 18 months, while Arawak Port Development Company expects the construction build-out to finish by early 2028.
