Harbour Craft and Shipping Community

DISCONTINUATION OF HARBOUR CRAFT PORT DUES CONCESSION FOR

FLOATING STORAGE UNITS / FLOATING STORAGE REGASSIFICATION UNITS

SUPPORTING LNG BUNKERING AND BREAKBULK ACTIVITIES IN PORT

This circular cancels Port Marine Circular No. 28 of 2021.

2 MPA has been working with the harbour craft and shipping community to build

up the LNG ecosystem in Singapore to expand storage capacity and supply for LNG

bunkering. This included grants for the construction of LNG-fuelled harbour craft and

LNG bunker vessels. The delivery of Singapore’s first LNG bunker vessel, FueLNG

Bellina in March 2021, has enabled ship-to-ship LNG bunkering to take place in port.

The expected commencement of operations of Singapore’s second LNG bunkering

vessel later this year will further boost Singapore’s LNG bunkering capacity.

3 With adequate capacity for LNG bunkering, MPA will discontinue the 50%

harbour craft port dues concession for floating storage units / floating storage

regassification units supporting LNG bunkering and breakbulk activities in port with

immediate effect.

4 For any queries or clarifications, please call MPA hotline at 1800-272-7777 or
