MPA grants Total third LNG bunker supplier license

The company aims to contribute to Singapore’s drive to be a key LNG bunkering hub for Asia.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has awarded a third liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunker supplier license to Total Marine Fuels Private Limited, Total’s subsidiary in charge of worldwide bunkering activities, for five years starting 1 January 2022.

The acquisition of the license follows a 10-year agreement signed by Total in 2019 to develop an LNG bunker supply chain in the port of Singapore, which is part of the company’s commitment to contribute to Singapore’s aim to be a key LNG bunkering hub for Asia.

“We are proud to be awarded by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore the licence to supply LNG. Singapore, as the world’s largest conventional bunkering hub with a market share of 20 percent, is well positioned to become a major hub for LNG as a marine fuel,” said Alexis Vovk, president of marketing and services at Total.

Total has invested in LNG infrastructure, critical to support its shipping customers’ uptake of LNG as a marine fuel. Since November 2020, Total has been operating the world’s largest LNG bunker vessel, the Gas Agility, at the Port of Rotterdam. By 2022, the company will launch another newly built LNG bunker vessel in Marseille, France, whilst serving the port of Singapore through a third one.
