Singapore moves ahead with LNG bunkering plans

Singapore: Singapore has made progress in the development of the practical operational procedures and standards for LNG bunkering operations.
 
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and its appointed consultant, Lloyd's Register, have completed its study on the technical standards and procedures for LNG bunkering in the port of Singapore.
 
Following the completion of the study, MPA will be organising industry consultation sessions to share the results of the study with the maritime industry and seek their feedback. With the industry feedback, MPA will subsequently finalise the LNG bunkering standards for the port of Singapore.
 
"There is an increasing need for the shipping industry to look at alternative sources of fuel and LNG is a promising option that we should consider. The completion of the study is an important milestone in the development of LNG bunkering in the port of Singapore and we would like to share this significant progress with the industry," said Captain M Segar, MPA's Assistant Chief Executive (Operations).  [07/11/13]
