LNG marine fuel scale-up attracts 14 proposals

Eight of these include bio-methane and e-methane.

A total of 14 proposals were submitted to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) to expand the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as marine fuel in the Port of Singapore.

According to MPA, 18 companies took part in the expression of interest. Eight of the submissions included bio-methane and e-methane which can lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions and support the needs of international shipping for additional options for vessel operators on the energy transition pathway.

MPA said it will work with short-listed companies to conduct sea-based LNG reloading trials by the second half of 2025. It will also develop plans to promote the use bio- and e-methane as marine fuels in Singapore.

Insights from the proposals and trials will inform MPA’s review of the LNG bunkering licensing framework, including enhancements to existing supply arrangements to better meet the needs of international shipping. These efforts contribute to the emission reduction efforts discussed at the International Maritime Organization.

Applications for additional bunker supply licences will be conducted by early 2026.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
