Pavilion Performs First Commercial Ship-to-Ship LNG Bunkering
Pavilion Energy May 2 said it has performed the first commercial ship-to-ship LNG bunkering in the Port of Singapore.
The operation comprised a reload of 2,000 m3 of LNG onto a small-scale tanker at the newly-modified secondary jetty of the Singapore LNG (SLNG) terminal, followed by a ship-to-ship transfer to the receiving heavy-lift commercial vessel.
“Pavilion Energy’s first commercial ship-to-ship LNG bunkering operations in Singapore demonstrates our strong commitment and capability to deliver a comprehensive suite of LNG bunker supply solutions to Singapore and the region,” said Frederic H. Barnaud, CEO of Pavilion Energy. “We are very pleased to have achieved this shared milestone in close collaboration with the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) and SLNG Corporation, and with the support from various stakeholders, partners and customers.”
Pavilion Energy performed truck-to-ship bunkering in 2017, and further expanded its bunker logistics with the charter of its first LNG bunker vessel newbuild in February 2019. The 12,000 m3 GTT Mark III Flex membrane LNG bunker vessel is set for delivery by 2021, and is the largest of its kind set for use in the Port of Singapore to date, Pavilion said.
Pavilion Gas, a unit of Pavilion Energy, is a licensed LNG bunker supplier in the Port of Singapore.
