27FEB2019 - NEWS - Singapore LNG Corporation Pte Ltd completes modifications to its Secondary Jetty at its Terminal on Jurong Island for handling small LNG vessels

Singapore LNG Corporation Pte Ltd (SLNG) has recently successfully completed modifications to its Secondary Jetty at its Terminal on Jurong Island, and it is now able to receive and reload small liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships of between 2,000m3 and 10,000m3 in capacity. This new Small-Scale LNG (SSLNG) Facility, completed on 13 February 2019, will help spur the development of the small-scale LNG market in various forms; for example, in the supply of LNG to isolated power plants in remote areas in the region, or in the delivery of LNG as bunker fuel to ships in the Port of Singapore. The SLNG Terminal’s Secondary Jetty was originally designed to accommodate LNG ships of 60,000m3 to 265,000m3 in size. In June 2017, SLNG successfully performed a Gas-Up/Cool-Down and Reload operation for the 6,500m3 LNG bunker vessel, Cardissa. Following on that success, and to better support small-scale LNG and LNG bunkering, SLNG took the initiative to commence modification works to its Secondary Jetty so that even smaller LNG ships could reload at the Terminal. The modifications include the installation of a new Marine Loading Arm and Gangway, and new facilities for securing small LNG ships at the jetty.
