Singapore Registry of Ships surpasses 100 million gross tonnage milestone

The SRS registered a new VLCC tanker named Eagle Veracruz.

The Singapore Registry of Ships (SRS) surpassed the 100 million gross tonnage (GT) milestone following the registration of a new Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) tanker, Eagle Veracruz on 23 January 2024.

Eagle Veracruz is a dual-fuelled liquefied natural gas VLCC named after the Mexican State of Veracruz where one of the oldest ports in Mexico is located. It exceeds 330 metres in length with a volume of over 156,000 GT.

The vessel is designed to be energy-efficient with enhanced stability and maneuverability. The main engine is also designed to run on low- and zero-carbon fuels.

The SRS continuously promotes maritime digitalisation and decarbonisation and expects more greener ships in Singapore in the coming years.

In 2023, 22 newly registered Singapore-registered ships received Green Ship Certificates under the Green Ship Programme.

Currently, the MPA-backed SRS manages about 4,000 vessels aggregating over 100 million gross tonnage.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
