BG Group and Keppel Offshore & Marine have secured the license to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunker to vessels in the Port of Singapore, with the first delivery of LNG bunker expected to commence in 2017.
The two companies will form a joint alliance to deliver an end-to-end bunkering solution using LNG sourced from BG Group’s diversified LNG portfolio.
This new venture further builds on BG Group’s existing role as the exclusive aggregator for Singapore’s first three million tonnes per year of LNG demand. The partnership with Keppel aims to build on the corporation’s expertise in offshore rig design, the construction and repair of ships and specialised ship building.
Michael Chia, Managing Director (Marine and Technology) of Keppel Offshore & Marine, said, “The move into LNG bunkering is in line with Keppel’s strategy to provide solutions for the global LNG market, and we are happy to be able to partner BG Group in this exciting new venture. As the exclusive gas aggregator for Singapore, BC Group has the experience of importing LNG into Singapore.”
