Singapore-based PIL completes first LNG bunkering

Singapore-based container liner, Pacific International Lines (PIL), has completed its first LNG bunkering operation in the city-state, the company announced on 11 August.

The shipping firm's 8,200 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) LNG dual-fuelled containership, Kota Ocean, was refuelled with 4,000m³, or around 1,413t, of LNG. TotalEnergies supplied the LNG fuel, which was bunkered via the Brassavola bunkering vessel. The simultaneous operations (Simops) — where bunkering operations are done alongside the loading or unloading of cargoes — was done at PSA Singapore's Brani Terminal.

Kota Ocean is the sixth alternative fuel vessel owned by PIL. The container liner firm is expecting 12 more similar vessels in the next three years, as the maritime industry pushes for decarbonisation.

Demand for alternative fuels has picked up at the key port of Singapore. Consumption of LNG as a bunker fuel rose in June.

Interest in bunkering LNG has similarly risen in Asia. China's state-owned CNOOC completed its largest LNG bunkering operations to date in Hong Kong on 10 June, while Taiwanese container shipping firm Yang Ming also ordered seven LNG dual-fuelled vessels in July.
