SLNG to develop and operate a second LNG terminal in Singapore

The terminal will have a gas supply capacity of up to 5 million tonnes per annum.

Singapore LNG Corporation will develop and operate a second Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal in Singapore, Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced.

Unlike the onshore terminal on Jurong Island, SLNG is planning to base the second terminal on a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) concept, meaning it is "essentially an LNG ship with onboard regasification facilities, that will be engaged on a long-term time charter arrangement." SLNG, however, clarified that the concept is still being studied.

"The FRSU concept offers greater flexibility in meeting the nation’s energy security and sustainability objectives, as it could be easily redeployed to another location as a receiving terminal, if necessary," SNLG said.

The second terminal will also have a gas supply capacity of up to 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), or about half of the Jurong Island terminal.

The planned terminal will be connected with Singapore’s gas pipeline grid via an onshore gas pipeline to be installed as part of the project.

SNLG said it will call a tender shortly for the charter of the FSRU and aims to have the terminal operation by the end of this decade.

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.
