Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings said it had modified newbuild contracts for the final two Prima Plus ships to accommodate the use of green methanol as an alternative fuel source in the future.

Those ships are scheduled for delivery in 2027 and 2028.
While additional modifications will be needed in the future to fully enable the use of methanol in addition to traditional marine fuel on these ships, this reinforces the company’s commitment to decarbonization and represents an important step forward in the pursuit of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Biofuel tests continue
NCLH also reported successfully completed tests of biofuel blends on three additional ships, Norwegian Star, Norwegian Sun and Norwegian Epic. All three were tested with a blend of approximately 30% biofuel and 70% MGO which was supplied in collaboration with World Fuel Services as well as GoodFuels for Norwegian Sun and PRIO for Norwegian Star and Norwegian Epic.
