Carnival Corporation: 20 Years of Shore Power in Seattle
Carnival Corporation today marked 20 years of plugging into landside electrical power in Seattle in a milestone that underscores the long-standing partnership with the Port of Seattle, according to a press release.
On June 18, 2005, Princess Cruises’ Diamond Princess became the first ship to connect to shore power in Seattle.
The city was the second place in the world to have shore power after Juneau Alaska, where Carnival Corporation’s Princess Cruises had first pioneered and invested in the technology.
