Singapore LNG breaks ground on third jetty, earns EU sustainability certification
Singapore LNG Corporation (SLNG), which built, owns and operates the Republic's current LNG terminal, on Friday (Oct 9) began construction works for its third jetty at the SLNG Terminal on Jurong Island.The groundbreaking ceremony was officiated by SLNG's chairman Gan Seow Kee and chief executive officer Leong Wei Hung. This third jetty will accommodate LNG carriers ranging from 5,800 cubic metre to 80,000 cubic metre in size, said SLNG in a press release issued after the event.It will also be SLNG's first jetty dedicated to serving small and mid-scale vessels.When completed in the second half of 2028, the new jetty is expected to support approximately two million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG bunker reload demand, while also accommodating break-bulk and other small-scale LNG operations."Together with existing infrastructure, SLNG could potentially support up to three MTPA of LNG bunker reload, depending on market demand," SLNG added. Last year, SLNG maintained its position as the world's top LNG bunkering port.
