Pavilion completes LNG bunkering of Singapore’s 1st LNG hybrid tug via trucks
Pavilion Energy has completed LNG bunkering of Singapore's first LNG hybrid tug via trucks, the company announced on March 30 via a LinkedIn post.
“We are proud to have celebrated a milestone in the decarbonisation of Singapore's ports yesterday - the successful delivery of LNG bunkering to Singapore's first LNG hybrid tug via trucks,” it said.
Christened as JMS Sunshine, the Singapore-flagged vessel is the first-of-its-kind running on pure LNG engine and is designed, built, owned and operated by Sembcorp Marine. The JMS Sunshine, which is the first of a series of LNG hybrid tugs, is part of Sembcorp Marine's efforts to lead maritime fleet renewal with green propulsion vessels, Pavilion said.
A total of 34 m3 of LNG was transferred from the trucks to the receiving vessel at Jurong Port. This operation marks the beginning of Pavilion's truck-to-ship LNG bunkering operations with Sembcorp Marine, under a supply agreement with Bulk Trade, a Sembcorp Marine subsidiary.
“Importantly, it forms part of our commitment to support our customers in their energy transition journey with LNG as a cleaner marine fuel,” Pavilion said.
