Natural gas also comes from down south, up north and out west. Natural gas provides clean energy to 70 million homes and businesses, keeping families warm, cooking their food, providing hot water and powering the economy. And since the United States produces nearly all it needs, we are not dependant on volatile foreign supplies. It’s even delivered via pipeline, which according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, is the safest form of energy transportation—safer than transportation by truck or rail.

  • Nieuw Pinnacle Class Schip Van Holland America Line Krijgt De Naam Ms Koningsdam
    CONTACT: Marieke Koudijs PHONE: +31 20 654 1565 FAX: +31 20 623 0151 EMAIL: [email protected] Nieuw Pinnacle Class Schip van Holland America Line krijgt de naam ms Koningsdam Vorstelijk nieuw design en rijke Nederlandse historie verenigd in de naam van het nieuwe schip Rotterdam 15 september 2014 - Holland America Line heeft de nieuwe naam van het, in februari 2016 op te leveren, cruiseschip onthuld: ms Koningsdam. Waar de naam enerzijds eer doet aan de diepgewortelde Nederlandse historie van Holland America Line, weerspiegelt het ook een nieuw tijdperk met een voor Holland America Line gedurfde naam. Het nieuwe, 99.500 ton metende, in design vooruitstrevende, Pinnacle Class schip kan 2.650 passagiers accommoderen en wordt gebouwd op de Italiaanse scheepswerf Fincantieri Marghera. Sinds 1883 eindigen alle namen van de passagiersschepen van Holland America Line op het woord ‘dam’ en met het nieuwe ms Koningsdam wordt deze traditie voortgezet. Met de toevoeging van het woord koning, verwijst de naam van het nieuwe schip naar Zijne Majesteit Koning Willem-Alexander, de eerste koning van Nederland sinds meer dan honderd jaar. Holland America Line heeft een lange en trotse historie met Nederland. Alle 15 premium cruiseschepen varen onder de Nederlandse vlag, naar meer dan 400 havens wereldwijd. De rederij deelt haar rijke verleden op jaarbasis met bijna één miljoen gasten. Bovendien telt de cruisemaatschappij veel Nederlandse werknemers, waaronder het merendeel van de kapiteins en officieren. Veel van de schepen van Holland America Line zijn gedoopt door leden van de Koninklijke familie de afgelopen 75 jaar. Het meest recente schip, ms Nieuw Amsterdam is in 2010 gedoopt door toenmalig Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid Prinses Maxima der Nederlanden.
