“On behalf of the entire team from FueLNG, we would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation,” said Rai.
“The MPA team has gone out of the way to assist FueLNG in several ways to ensure that FueLNG is able to provide best-in-class service to the customer vessels arriving for LNG bunkering in Singapore.
“We thank the entire MPA team from the bottom of our hearts for your help and support.”
FueLNG further thanked its partners SLNG – Singapore LNG Corporation Pte Ltd, PSA Singapore, Shell & Keppel Offshore & Marine.
“This reinforces our commitment to promoting the adoption of LNG as a marine fuel, and boosting the growth of Singapore as a global LNG bunkering hub,” it concludes.
