Sawgrass added that the milestone underscores growing support for alternative marine fuels at the Florida Port.

"This is a defining moment for Port Everglades and our partners Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and Sawgrass LNG & Power, Neil J. Kutchera, Assistant Director of Energy and Innovation at Port Everglades, said.

"We are excited to have this lower-carbon fuel available for both landside and waterside delivery and applaud Ritz-Carlton and Sawgrass LNG for their commitment to safety and sustainability."

The bunkering operation was conducted in coordination with multiple agencies, including the US Coast Guard Sector Miami, Broward Sheriff’s Office, and REV.
