Slow Growth for LNG Bunker Demand in Singapore
LNG bunker demand in Singapore appears to be growing at a slow pace, with local supplier FueLNG announcing it has just completed its 10th ship-to-ship LNG bunker operation in the city-state's waters.
The company announced its 10th ship-to-ship LNG bunker operation in a LinkedIn post earlier this week. The milestone was reached just over a year after the launch of the LNG bunkering vessel FueLNG Bellina at the end of May 2020. The company took delivery of the barge in January 2021 and carried out its first bunkering on March 24.
"The MPA team has gone out of the way to assist FueLNG in several ways to ensure that FueLNG is able to provide best-in-class service to the customer vessels arriving for LNG bunkering in Singapore," Saunak Rai, head of FueLNG, said in the statement.
In May FueLNG said it was expecting to carry out a total of 30-50 ship-to-ship LNG bunker operations in 2021. The company is still on schedule to reach that target, a spokesman for the firm told Ship & Bunker by email.
