Seatrium unveils Singapore’s first membrane LNG bunker vessel
The vessel is set to commence operations in February 2024.
Seatrium announced the successful delivery of Singapore’s first membrane LNG bunker vessel, Brassavola to owner Indah Singa Maritime Pte. Ltd, a Mitsui O.S.K Lines (MOL) unit.
Brassavola will be chartered by Pavilion Energy to supply an LNG bunker in the Port of Singapore.
The vessel will also be deployed by TotalEnergies Marine Fuels to serve its customers under a long-term agreement with Pavilion Energy.
The vessel measures 116.5 m in length and 22.0 m in width with state-of-the-art technology including superior loading and faster bunkering rate of up to 2,000m3 per hour, mass flow metering and online gas chromatograph systems, and enhanced operational efficiency.
Brassavola uses dual-fuel engines, allowing the vessel to run on marine LNG for cleaner and lower-carbon operation.
It is also equipped with an advanced reliquefaction technology that enables more efficient boil-off gas management, which reduces carbon emissions.
The vessel is expected to start operations in February 2024.
