Singapore Registry of Ships surpasses 100 million gross tonnage milestone

The SRS registered a new VLCC tanker named Eagle Veracruz.

The Singapore Registry of Ships (SRS) surpassed the 100 million gross tonnage (GT) milestone following the registration of a new Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) tanker, Eagle Veracruz on 23 January 2024.

Eagle Veracruz is a dual-fuelled liquefied natural gas VLCC named after the Mexican State of Veracruz where one of the oldest ports in Mexico is located. It exceeds 330 metres in length with a volume of over 156,000 GT.

The vessel is designed to be energy-efficient with enhanced stability and maneuverability. The main engine is also designed to run on low- and zero-carbon fuels.

The SRS continuously promotes maritime digitalisation and decarbonisation and expects more greener ships in Singapore in the coming years.

In 2023, 22 newly registered Singapore-registered ships received Green Ship Certificates under the Green Ship Programme.

Currently, the MPA-backed SRS manages about 4,000 vessels aggregating over 100 million gross tonnage.

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.
