Singapore-based LNG bunker provider Pavilion Energy on Thursday (30 March) said it celebrated a milestone in the decarbonisation of Singapore’s ports yesterday with the successful delivery of LNG bunkering to Singapore’s first LNG hybrid tug via trucks.

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 Ltd. 

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. It has low lifecycle costs and leaves minimal environmental footprint.

Completed in full compliance with safety measures, a total of 34m3 of LNG was transferred from the trucks to the receiving vessel at Jurong Port, the preferred port infrastructure to support LNG bunkering.

“This operation marks the beginning of Pavilion Energy’s Truck-to-Ship (TSS) LNG bunkering operations with Sembcorp Marine, under a supply agreement with Bulk Trade, a Sembcorp Marine subsidiary,” Pavilion Energy said in a social media post. 

“Importantly, it forms part of our commitment to support our customers in their energy transition journey with LNG as a cleaner marine fuel,” it said.
