Singapore Port Authority seeks methanol bunker supply proposals

In Singapore, Marine Link reported that Singapore’s Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) said it was seeking proposals from companies to supply methanol as a marine bunker fuel at Singapore from 2025.

The proposals have to look into methanol supply sources, the bunkering operation model at a commercial scale and ways to physically transfer methanol, according to the report.

The initiative is aimed at scaling up methanol bunker supply at Singapore, said MPA Chief Executive Teo Eng Dih, adding that the port authority would also develop a methanol bunkering licensing framework.

Proposals are to be submitted by Feb. 29, 2024, the report added.
