FuelLNG announced the milestone bunkering operation via social media on Friday.
During the operation, the 18,000-cbm bunkering vessel, FueLNG Venosa, delivered LNG to LNG-powered bulk carrier Ubuntu Humanity at Eastern Bunkering A Anchorage (AEBA) on July 11.
FuleLNG did not provide further information.
The JV previously said that it took about 2.5 years to achieve the first 100 STS LNG bunkering operation, and 5 months to achieve 150 operations in March 2024, underscoring the exponential growth and burgeoning demand for LNG bunkering in Singapore.
FueLNG completed its 350th operation in April last year and its 500th operation in August the same year.
FueLNG Bellina is Singapore’s first LNG bunkering vessel. In March 2021, it completed its first operation with a CMA CGM container vessel.
In June 2023, 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.
During the first six months of this year, Singapore LNG bunkering volumes rose 30.3 percent year-on-year to 318,290 mt, according to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.
LNG bunkering sales of 70,270 mt in May this year marked a new monthly record for Singapore.
