The world’s dominant cruise group, Carnival, will double its use of marine gas oil (MGO) next year as new environmental rules kick in, lifting its fuel bill by $200m.
The Miami-based group which operates more than 100 ships under 10 brands said its total fuel bill in 2020 is expected to be $1.8bn, as the proportion of MGO rises to 40% from 20% this year to comply with IMO 2020 low sulphur rules.
