Singapore: MPA Launches EOI for Proposals to Boost LNG Bunkering
Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) today launched a formal Expression of Interest (EOI) in proposals that will help it better understand ways to scale up and improve LNG bunkering at the port.
Specifically, MPA is seeking proposals to: scale up sea-based reloading of LNG bunkers; to understand interest and viability in the of supplying bio and synthetic LNG; and proposals of new concepts and uses of floating platforms to increase bunkering safety and efficiency, and incident response in the Port.
MPA stressed that the EOI is not a tender for the supply or sale of LNG, or for a licence to supply or sell LNG.
The closing date for proposals is 1.00pm (Singapore Time) February 28, 2025.

MPA's ambition to expand LNG bunkering follows a positive year for the alternative marine fuel's uptake.
LNG this year has been the overwhelming choice for alternatively-fuelled new build orders - a trend that continued last month with 23 of the 27 orders placed in November being for LNG-fuelled tonnage.
