Singapore Bolsters LNG Bunkering Hub with Eight New Licences
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has announced that it will issue eight new licences to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel in Singapore from September 2026.
These new licences aim to strengthen Singapore's position as a multi-fuel bunkering hub by expanding its LNG bunkering capacity and supporting the growing demand for LNG bunkering services.
The successful applicants include 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).
The evaluation process considered factors such as supply capabilities, commercial plans, operational experience, safety standards, and the ability to monitor and mitigate methane slip.
