Singapore Elevates LNG Bunkering Standard to New Level

The Singaporean government has taken another step towards establishing its position as a leading global LNG bunkering hub. On August 28, FueLNG, a Singapore-licensed LNG bunker supplier, announced the elevation of the LNG Bunkering Technical Reference (TR 56) to the newly published Singapore Standard SS 727.

The launch of SS 727 represents a significant achievement for Singapore's maritime industry, providing a comprehensive and robust framework to enhance the safety, consistency, and reliability of LNG bunkering operations. The standard captures years of industry experience, technological advancements, and operational learnings.

FueLNG, which led the industry effort to develop the standard, hosted a seminar on September 2 to mark this milestone. Dr. Saunak Rai, Chairman of the Technical Committee for Bunkering (Cryogenic & Gaseous Fuels) and General Manager of FueLNG, presented the evolution of LNG bunkering standards in Singapore.

The seminar also featured practical operational perspectives from Siah Poh Chiang, Operations Manager, FueLNG. The session concluded with a panel discussion on the Future of LNG Bunkering, moderated by Dr Saunak Rai.
