Singapore Expands LNG Bunkering Network with Eight New Licences

Singapore has expanded its liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering network by issuing eight new supplier licences, aiming to strengthen its position as a multi-fuel bunkering hub. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) announced the move on Thursday, with the licences valid until August 31, 2031.

The licensees 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 expanded licensing framework will boost Singapore's LNG bunkering capacity and meet growing demand for LNG bunkering services. Licensees are required to provide end-to-end LNG bunkering services, including fuel supply, storage, cargo transfer, and vessel delivery.
