Our comprehensive LNG supply chain expertise, spanning from exploration to end-user delivery, has established us as a trusted pioneer in Asia’s maritime sector. With Singapore’s strategic position and our robust infrastructure, we’re not just providing LNG bunkering services—we’re enabling the maritime industry’s sustainable transformation.
LNG’s role in shipping’s energy transition
Used as a marine fuel, LNG helps cut greenhouse gas emissions by around 20% compared to conventional marine fuel and has the potential to reduce emissions significantly more if bio or synthetic LNG is used. As such, marine LNG is a sustainable, affordable and immediately available way of reducing emissions in the shipping sector. Asiapac resources has actively invested in LNG bunkering infrastructure, critical to supporting its shipping customers’ adoption of LNG as a marine fuel.
Benefits of LNG as a Marine Fuel
The key advantage of LNG fuel as a fuel is the vast reduction in pollutants caused by the more traditional method of fueling ships such as heavy fuel oil, marine diesel fuel (MDO), and marine gas oil (MGO).
LNG fuel is easily accessible and an abundant energy source, making it an ideal choice for maritime operations. Its calorific value is 15% to 20% higher than conventional fuels making LNG an economically viable combustible fuel.
Stringent environmental IMO regulations coupled with LNG’s significant advantages in terms of availability, technological maturity, affordability, and environmental efficiency will boost LNG use as marine fuel over the coming years.

Our framework for LNG bunkering operations encompasses joint ventures with key industry players and adherence to Singapore LNG bunkering regulations.
Ship-to-ship bunkering operation
In most ports, including those under the Port Authority of Singapore, the LNG bunker vessel needs to have a license to operate, issued by local authorities. It is recommended to start the permit application well in advance of the ship-to-ship operation, as it normally involves several authorities.
Bunkering LNG ship-to-ship at sea does not usually require any special permit unless the operation takes place close to the shore. Typically, the bunkering operations take place in a position agreed with the Coast Guard within an anchorage area.
Repair and Servicing
We collaborate with engineering companies for ships’ bridge navigation equipment for repair, service and replacement of parts, both locally and around the region.
Safety first
To ensure a high safety standard, the crew on board both ships involved need to have the necessary training and instructions on how to handle the cryogenic LNG bunker equipment and procedures, as mandated by the Port Authority of Singapore. After an initial compatibility check of the ships, a mooring study is done, and a checklist of all procedures is followed and ticked off by the respective crew.
When mooring and fendering arrangements are agreed upon, the LNG bunker vessel is positioned alongside the receiving ship and the final procedures are checked and ticked off. The hose is then connected, a leak test is performed, the water curtain installed, and the emergency shutdown systems are re-checked. After this, the bunker operation may commence under the guidelines set by the Port Authority of Singapore. After the operation is completed, the hose and equipment need to be purged before they are disconnected.
Transfer equipment
The LNG bunker ship needs to secure that all gas detection equipment is certified and in good condition. Both the bunker ship and the receiving vessel need to have installed efficient and safe emergency shutdown systems (ESD), as required by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore. The hoses are equipped with a drip-free quick coupling and a break away unit, which, in case of an emergency, breaks off without any spill, ensuring compliance with Singapore LNG bunkering standards.
