1000th bunkering operation for FueLNG

A joint venture between Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd (Keppel O&M) and Shell Eastern Petroleum (Pte) Ltd, FueLNG finished the operation with no time loss incidents and in accordance with the Technical reference (TR) 56 standard for LNG bunkering in Singapore, said Keppel.

Chris Ong, chairman of FueLNG and CEO of Keppel O&M, said: “This milestone is testament to FueLNG’s ability to provide safe, cost-efficient and reliable LNG bunkering for our clients.”

Quah Ley Hoon, chief executive of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), said: “We are pleased to see good progress in LNG bunkering in Singapore. We hope that this would strengthen Singapore’s offering as a global maritime hub and bunkering port.”

Steady service

Since May 2018, FueLNG has been providing truck-to-ship LNG bunkering for two dual-fuel tugs operated by Keppel Smit Towage. FueLNG is also able to provide LNG for the commissioning of LNG systems and machinery, and trials for gas-fuelled vessels.

In September 2017, FueLNG completed its first operation and provided LNG for the commissioning of the floating liquefaction vessel Hilli Episeyo.

FueLNG has placed an order with Keppel O&M to build South East Asia’s first LNG bunkering vessel, which is anticipated to be completed in the third quarter of 2020. This will enable FueLNG to provide ship-to-ship bunkering services to global customers within the Port of Singapore.
