The maritime industry in Singapore has reached an important milestone with the elevation of the LNG bunkering Technical Reference (TR 56) to the newly published Singapore Standard SS 727. FueLNG, a Singapore-licensed LNG bunker supplier, hosted a seminar to celebrate this achievement and highlight its significance.
The launch of SS 727 represents a comprehensive and robust framework for safe, consistent, and reliable LNG bunkering operations. Dr. Saunak Rai, Chairman of the Technical Committee for Bunkering (Cryogenic & Gaseous Fuels) and General Manager of FueLNG, led the industry effort to develop the standard.
Dr. Rai shared the evolution of LNG bunkering standards in Singapore, from the early development of TR 56 to its elevation as Singapore Standard SS 727. He also provided insights into the collaboration between industry stakeholders, regulators, and technical experts that shaped the standard.
