Seatrium has delivered Singapore’s first membrane tank LNG bunkering tanker. BrassavolaMitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) subsidiary Indah Singa Maritime Pte. Brassavola It will be chartered by Pavilion Energy to supply LNG bunkers at the Port of Singapore. The vessel, which is scheduled to enter service this month, will be deployed by Total Energy Marine Fuels to serve customers under a long-term contract with Pavilion Energy.
Uniquely designed and manufactured in Singapore by Seatrium’s Norwegian subsidiary LMG Marin, Brassavola It has an overall length of 116.5 meters, a width of 22.0 meters and provides a refueling volume of up to 2,000 cubic meters per hour. Equipped with a mass flow meter and online gas chromatograph system, it increases refueling turnover and improves operational efficiency. It is equipped with a dual fuel engine and can be operated on LNG itself.
Seatrium said the vessel’s advanced reliquefaction technology enables more efficient boil-off gas management and reduces carbon emissions, while the two GTT Mark III Flex membrane tanks offer lower internal pressure, temperature , it has properties such as boil-off rate, and says it can improve tank durability and safety. Reducing cargo losses due to fuel transfer operations and evaporation. The twin membrane tank is optimized to be lightweight and space-saving, increasing cargo capacity and fuel efficiency during transport.
“we, Brassavola We look forward to working with our strategic partners in Pavilion Energy and Cetrium,” said Kazuya Hamasaki, Managing Executive Officer of MOL. ” Brassavola This is an important step in Singapore’s transition towards the use of clean, decarbonized fuels like LNG. We look forward to Brassavola becoming operational soon, setting new standards in LNG bunkering and further strengthening Singapore’s position as a global LNG bunkering hub. ”
“Delivery of Singapore’s first membrane tank type LNG bunkering tanker, Brassavola This represents a step in Pavilion Energy’s transformation towards decarbonisation and paves the way for a more sustainable maritime industry. We are pleased to work with our strategic partners to achieve this milestone and look forward to commissioning the vessel,” said Mr Malcolm Lim, Head of Pavilion Energy’s Singapore Hub. “Brassavola This complements our global LNG bunker supply network and strengthens our commitment to providing cleaner marine bunkering solutions to our customers. ”
