Endress+Hauser (S.E.A.) Pte. Ltd., the Singapore branch of Swiss-based mass flowmeter (MFM) manufacturer Endress+Hauser Group, celebrated the inauguration of its upgraded local office on Tuesday (15 August).

The newly refurbished office features, amongst others, an enhanced open meeting space capable of hosting several discussions simultaneously.

“Collaborations are important for our business and that’s the reason why we refurbished a place where customers can come and people can work together to exchange ideas, improve, learn from each other, and become better in what we are doing together,” stated Matthias Altendorf, CEO of Endress+Hauser Group.

“I hope you will enjoy it and you will like it. And there will be many occasions where we bring knowledge from these meetings to transform the world where we live into a better place.”

His Excellency, Frank Grutter, Ambassador of Switzerland to Singapore, graced the event with his presence, adding a sense of importance to the occasion.

“The Swiss footprint in Singapore is very big. If we look at some of the economic numbers, it’s quite impressive. Switzerland is the ninth largest source of foreign direct investment in Singapore,” shared Grutter.

“Trade in goods between both countries is about 20 billion in Singapore dollars every year, so very impressive numbers.”

Richard Yu, Managing Director, Endress+Hauser Singapore, who joined the company in late 2022, believed he made the corporate move due to the company’s strong ethos.

“I’m relatively new and a lot of times my friends, colleagues, and family asked me ‘Why join Endress+Hauser?’ That is a very important question I have asked myself. So, I would like to share with you the reason why I decided to join Endress+Hauser,” said Mr Wu.

“What closed the deal was when I asked the management in Switzerland what is most important thing that they are looking for in this new leader for Singapore.

“What came out from their mouth surprised me. It’s not about growth, profitability, and all that. It’s about taking care of people. So, the moment I flew back from Switzerland to Singapore I told my wife – this is the company I would like to join.”

Singapore: Eastern Pacific Shipping hits 700 LNG bunkering milestone

Singapore-based shipping firm Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) on Monday (17 August) said the company has successfully completed its 700th LNG bunkering operation, carried out for vehicle carrier Lake Victoria in Emden, Germany.

Since commencing LNG bunkering operations in November 2020, the company said it has completed a total LNG bunkering volume of 2,920,191 cubic metres (m3).

“Reaching 700 LNG bunkering operations reflects not only the scale of our investment in alternative-fuel capabilities, but also the experience, coordination and commitment of our teams at sea and ashore,” EPS said in a social media post.

“As we continue to grow and diversify our fleet, every operation adds to the practical experience needed to support shipping’s energy transition.”

Manifold Times previously reported the company completed a total of 530 LNG bunkering operations with over 2.4 million m3 of LNG bunkered, from the start of recorded data to 31 Dec 2025.

In its 2026 ESG Report, EPS said its fleet is among the largest dual-fuel fleets in the industry, with over 170 vessels designed to operate on alternative fuels.

In 2025, 25% of the fuel consumed by EPS fleet were alternative marine fuels, including LNG, LPG, ethane, and biofuels.

Yang Ming dual-fuel vessel completes first SIMOPS LNG bunkering operation in Shanghai

Taiwanese shipping firm Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation (Yang Ming) on Monday (17 August) said its 15,500 TEU LNG dual-fuel vessel, YM Willpower, successfully completed its first-ever LNG bunkering operation via SIMOPS (Simultaneous Operations) at the Port of Shanghai.

Through close collaboration with Shanghai International Port (Group) and SIPG Energy Shanghai, the vessel successfully received around 2,000 metric tonnes (mt) of LNG alongside active cargo handling, significantly enhancing operational efficiency during the port call.

With LNG dual-fuel technology, the company said it is continuing to expand alternative-fuel bunkering capabilities, enhance operational flexibility and efficiency and advance lower-carbon shipping solutions.

Manifold Times previously reported YM Willpower completing its first bunkering operation in Singapore.

In 2026, Yang Ming will progressively introduce newly built 15,500 TEU class container vessels primarily fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG) into its operating fleet.

The lead vessel, YM Willpower, completed partial LNG bunkering at the shipyard prior to delivery and was officially deployed on 8 February into Yang Ming’s Far East–Mediterranean MD2 service.
