When we talk about Port Canaveral, it’s usually about the growth Central Florida’s world-class gateway for cruises. Today is no exception as Space Coast first responders trained on firefighting techniques for liquefied natural gas (LNG), the marine fuel set to power the current generation of new cruise ships. 

The Port’s Firefighting Academy training facility was expanded earlier this year to include LNG training for firefighters and shipboard personnel.

The Canaveral Port Authority is acquiring a specialized fireboat to provide marine firefighting and rescue capabilities for Port Canaveral and the surrounding communities.
