Singapore advances ammonia and bioethanol bunkering with new standards and trials
In Singapore, the Maritime and Port Authority announced new ammonia bunkering standards, fuel supply initiatives and plans for the country’s first bioethanol bunkering operation at the Singapore International Bunkering Conference, expanding preparations for multiple marine fuels.
The ammonia code covers fuel transfers, safety and personnel qualifications. Singapore and Australia’s Pilbara Ports Authority will share bunkering trial experience to validate the requirements. A model ammonia bunkering contract is also open for public consultation.

MPA also plans to invite applications for floating LNG storage units and is collaborating with CMA CGM and Singapore LN
