Singapore’s FueLNG completes 200th STS bunkering operation

Singapore’s FueLNG, a joint venture consisting of Shell and Seatrium, has completed its 200th ship-to-ship (STS) LNG bunkering operation.

FuelLNG said in a statement on Monday the milestone operation took place on June 29 in Singapore.

During the operation, the 18,500-cbm bunkering vessel, FueLNG Venosa, delivered 9,000 cbm of LNG to CMA CGM’s 13,000-teu LNG-powered containership, CMA CGM Bahia.

The JV previously said that it took it about 2.5 years to achieve the first 100 STS LNG bunkering operation, and 5 months to achieve 150 operations in March this year, underscoring the exponential growth and burgeoning demand for LNG bunkering in Singapore.

This means that FueLNG achieved these new 50 operations in a bit more than three months.

FueLNG Bellina is Singapore’s first LNG bunkering vessel and it completed its first operation with a CMA CGM container vessel in March 2021.

In June last year, FueLNG Venosa completed its first LNG bunkering operation to the 210,000-dwt bulk carrier, Mount Tai.

This is FueLNG’s second bunkering vessel and the JV charters it from Korea Line LNG, a unit of SM Group’s Korea Line.

In addition to STS operations, FueLNG has carried out over 500 truck-to-ship bunkering operations and more than 650 truck-to-industry LNG distribution since its establishment in 2016, it said in October last year.

FueLNG plans to add bio-LNG and hydrogen-based e-LNG to its portfolio in the future to further slash emissions.
