ExxonMobil assists Pavilion for Singapore LNG bunkering

As reported, Pavilion Energy is one of two ventures awarded a license for LNG bunkering in Singapore, due to commence next year. ExxonMobil will support Pavilion in establishing bunkering procedures, starting with truck-to-ship deliveries, as well as the safety and operational standards for LNG bunkering in Singapore.

Nancy Carlson, vice president of aviation and marine at ExxonMobil Fuels and Lubricants, said: “The collaboration is one of the steps we are taking toward establishing ExxonMobil’s global LNG bunkering offer. Our 40-year heritage in LNG and marine insights, alongside Pavilion Energy’s dedicated approach, can help us to meet our vessel operators’ growing demand for integrated marine fuel solutions.”

ExxonMobil forecasts that LNG will become a growing part of the bunkering fuel mix, supplementing rather than replacing the current fuels line-up. The IMO’s impending 0.5% global cap on sulphur “will reshape the marine fuels landscape and is likely to boost demand for LNG and compliant low-sulphur fuel options”, the company noted.

ExxonMobil and Pavilion will also cooperate on ‘other downstream developments in Singapore’, the companies said.
