Singapore Awards Eight New LNG Bunkering Licences to Bolster Multi-Fuel Hub
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has awarded eight new licences to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel in Singapore from September 2026.
The new licences will expand Singapore's LNG bunkering capacity, strengthen the supporting ecosystem, and support the country's development as a multi-fuel bunkering hub.
Eight companies, Aramco Trading Singapore, Equatorial Marine Fuel Management Services, ExxonMobil Asia Pacific, PetroChina International (Singapore), Shell Eastern Trading, Sinopec Fuel Oil (Singapore), TotalEnergies Gas & Power Asia (TEGPA)-Sembcorp Fuels (Singapore) Joint Venture, and Vitol Bunkers (S), were selected following an evaluation of their supply capabilities, commercial plans, operational experience, and safety standards.
The licences will be valid for five years, from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, subject to licensees continuing to meet the relevant licensing conditions. Licensees are required to provide end-to-end LNG bunkering services, including fuel supply, storage, cargo transfer and delivery to vessels.
