Singapore’s Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) said on Thursday it was seeking proposals from companies to supply methanol as a marine bunker fuel at Singapore from 2025.<\/p>\n

The call emerged ahead of an expected uptick in methanol-powered ships, as companies ramped up orders of such vessels amid plans to cut carbon emissions with cleaner fuels.<\/p>\n

The proposals have to look into methanol supply sources, the bunkering operation model at a commercial scale and ways to physically transfer methanol.<\/p>\n

The move is aimed at scaling up methanol bunker supply at Singapore, said MPA Chief Executive Teo Eng Dih, adding that the port authority would also develop a methanol bunkering licensing framework.<\/p>\n

Proposals are to be submitted by Feb. 29, 2024, 15:00 Singapore time.<\/p>\n

Singapore, which is the world’s largest bunkering hub, conducted its first bio-methanol refuelling operation for a Maersk ship in July this year.<\/p>\n

Interest in methanol bunkering has grown as the shipping industry works toward carbon emission targets, with major shipowners and ports stepping up methanol bunkering-related projects globally.<\/p>\n
