The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), the CMA CGM Group, and Singapore LNG Corporation Pte Ltd (SLNG) on Wednesday (14 October) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore the supply and use of liquefied bio-methane as a marine fuel in Singapore. The MOU was signed by Mr Ang Wee Keong, Chief Executive of MPA, Mr Bo Wegener, Chief Executive Officer of CMA CGM, Asia Pacific, and Mr Leong Wei Hung, Chief Executive Officer of SLNG. The partnership brings together MPA’s regulatory and industry development experience, CMA CGM’s shipping and logistics expertise, and SLNG’s LNG infrastructure and technical capabilities. The parties will exchange knowledge and industry best practices to support the development of liquefied bio-methane supply pathways in Singapore, including its certification, supply, and use as a marine fuel. The parties will explore how existing gas infrastructure here could support the supply of liquefied bio-methane for maritime use, and how its sustainability attributes and greenhouse gas emission savings can be appropriately accounted for when it is mixed with natural gas in shared infrastructure. They will also undertake pilots and trials to validate these approaches under actual operating conditions and inform their potential wider application. The findings will build industry knowledge to support the development of liquefied bio-methane bunkering capabilities in Singapore. Mr Ang Wee Keong, Chief Executive of MPA , said, “LNG is an established marine fuel in Singapore. We are now looking at how lower-emission variants can build on the infrastructure and capabilities already in place. This partnership will help us explore how we can support the supply and use of liquefied bio-methane as a lower-emission marine fuel, as we continue to build Singapore’s multi-fuel bunkering capabilities.” Mr Bo Wegener, Chief Executive Officer of CMA CGM, Asia Pacifi c, said, “The decarbonisation of shipping requires collective action across the
