Singapore’s Maritime and Port Authority has opened applications for licences covering up to two LNG floating storage units at its anchorages, adding a potential source of storage and reloading capacity for marine-fuel suppliers.
The 12 November announcement invites existing LNG bunker licensees to apply, with terminal operators able to participate as partners. Each applicant must own or charter a Singapore-registered unit with at least 130,000 cubic metres of storage.
Most capacity must serve bunkering, with a minimum share accessible to other licensed suppliers. Operators must disclose their intended maximum reloading charges and obtain ISCC-EU certification to handle bio-LNG and e-LNG.
The licences will last five years. A briefing is scheduled for 4 December, ahead of the 4 February 2027 application deadline. The announcement opens a competition; it does not award licences or confirm that either unit is operating.
