Singapore: MPA calls for proposals to award to more LNG bunker supplier licenses

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) on Wednesday (28 October) launched a request for proposal (RFP) for parties seeking to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunker fuel at the Port of Singapore.

This follows from a recent announcement at the 21st Singapore International Bunkering Conference and Exhibition, it said.

MPA added it will issue up to two (2) additional LNG bunker supplier licenses to support growing demand for LNG bunkers at the Port of Singapore.

Interested parties should request for a copy of the RFP document by emailing [email protected].

The closing date for submission of proposals to MPA is Tuesday, 15 December 2020. A proposal must contain an end-to-end LNG bunkering solution, which should include details about its LNG supply and delivery model, its LNG sources and its marketing plan for the sale of LNG bunker, noted the MPA.

MPA said it seeks to announce the successful award of new LNG bunker supplier license(s), if any, by February 2021.

The current two licensed LNG bunker suppliers in the Port of Singapore are FueLNG Pte Ltd and Pavilion Energy Singapore Pte Ltd.
