SINGAPORE - The country’s efforts to become a LNG bunkering hub have taken a major step forward after around 3,000 cubic m of liquefied natural gas were transferred from a vessel to an oil tanker in the Port of Singapore.
The process – a first here – involved the bunkering vessel FueLNG Bellina completing the gas-up and cool-down operation to the LNG-powered Pacific Emerald, one of 10 similar tankers chartered by Shell Tankers Singapore.
Another 30 to 50 of such ship-to-ship LNG bunkering operations will be undertaken by the same players this year, noted the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and FueLNG, which completed the bunkering on Friday (May 7).
