Port Everglades is a deep-water seaport in South Florida, located close to major Atlantic Ocean shipping lanes.

The fuel was supplied to the Ritz-Carlton-operated yacht Ilma in a shore-to-ship bunkering operation, Sawgrass said.

The delivery marks the port’s first LNG bunkering of its kind, the company added, describing it as a “significant step” in expanding LNG as a marine fuel option in South Florida.
