Singapore has issued eight new licences to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel in Singapore from 1 September 2026, according to Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).
The MPA said the new licences will expand Singapore’s LNG bunkering capacity to meet growing demand for LNG bunkering services and support its continued development as a multi-fuel bunkering hub.
The licences will be awarded to Aramco Trading Singapore, Equatorial Marine Fuel Management Services, ExxonMobil Asia Pacific, PetroChina International (Singapore), Shell Eastern Trading, Sinopec Fuel Oil (Singapore), TotalEnergies Gas & Power Asia (TEGPA)-Sembcorp Fuels (Singapore) Joint Venture, and Vitol Bunkers (S).
The licences will be valid for five years, from Sept 1, 2026, to 31 Aug 31, 2031, subject to licensees continuing to meet the relevant licensing conditions.
The existing licences remain valid till 31 December 2026.
Companies will have to provide end-to-end LNG bunkering services including fuel supply, storage, cargo transfer and delivery to vessels.
The issuance of these licences concludes the call for applications launched in January this year.
