MPA seeks proposals for the implementation of end-to-end methanol bunkering solutions

The agency plans to begin methanol bunkering in 2025.

The Maritime Port Authority (MPA) has issued an Expression of Interest (EOI) to seek proposals for the implementation of end-to-end methanol bunkering solutions in Singapore starting in 2025.

The EOI focuses on three areas: methanol supply sources; methanol bunkering operation model at a commercial scale in Singapore; and alternatives to the physical transfer of methanol molecules to Singapore such as mass balancing.

The EOI comes after the completion of the first ship-to-containership methanol bunkering operation on 27 July in Singapore.

Interested parties can visit MPA’s website at https://go.gov.sg/mpa-eoi-supply-methanol-bunkering to access or download a copy of the EOI documents.

MPA will accept proposals until 29 February 2024, 3:00 p.m., Singapore time.
