Singapore Expands Multi-Fuel Hub with New LNG Licences
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) is expanding its multi-fuel hub by issuing new licences for liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply. From September 1, 2026, eight companies will be allowed to supply LNG as a marine fuel in Singapore.
The move aims to increase the port's LNG bunkering capacity and support its development as a multi-fuel bunkering hub. The successful applicants are 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 MPA selected the companies based on their supply capabilities, commercial plans, operational experience, and safety standards. The assessment also considered each applicant's ability to monitor and mitigate methane slip, as well as support the supply of methane-based alternatives with lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions.
