This operation was carried out by <strong>FueLNG Private Limited<\/strong>, boosting the use of cleaner fuels in the Asian maritime sector. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LNG supply for cruise ship ASUKA III<\/h2>\n\n<p>The procurement was carried out in collaboration with <strong>Shell LNG<\/strong> and the <strong>Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore<\/strong><em>(MPA<\/em>), strengthening their joint commitment to move towards effective decarbonization of shipping.<\/p>\n\n<p>The <strong>choice of the ASUKA III <\/strong>as the recipient of this first bunkering is not a casual event. This vessel is a symbol of Japanese maritime tourism, and has been designed to operate on LNG, minimizing its <strong>emissions of sulfur oxides<\/strong>, <strong>nitrogen oxides<\/strong> and<strong> other particulates<\/strong>. Moreover, its addition to the gas-powered cruise routes encourages the growing trend towards more sustainable options.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Moreover, this operation follows the supply of <a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/safety-in-supply-from-gnl-a-japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>LNG bunkering<\/strong><\/a> carried out in February for the <strong>Silvernova<\/strong>, evidencing a continuity in the use of the Singapore Cruise Hub as a strategic point for marine bunkering in the region.<\/p>\n\n<p>This progress would not have been possible without coordination between public and private entities. The role of the <strong>MPA <\/strong>has been fundamental in facilitating the regulatory and logistical conditions for these operations to be carried out efficiently and safely. <\/p>\n\n<p>For its part, <strong>FueLNG <\/strong>has demonstrated its technical and operational capacity to carry out the supply of LNG in a complex place such as the port. <strong>Shell&#8217;<\/strong>s commitment, through its LNG division, highlights the weight that energy majors give to the development of low-carbon solutions for maritime transport. <\/p>\n\n<p>With this operation, Singapore consolidates its position as one of Asia&#8217;s most important <strong>LNG <\/strong><strong> bunkering hubs<\/strong>. The city-state strengthens its leadership in port sustainability by offering services that meet the environmental requirements of shipping lines and the expectations of environmentally conscious passengers. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Follow us on social networks and don&#8217;t miss any of our publications!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p id=\"block-2ccd5b01-f7b0-41c7-bd84-5fb1552af18c\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@inspenet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inspenet\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow\">X (Twitter)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@inspenet?_t=8qqIL6dRGNR&amp;_r=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/singaporecruise.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Singapore Cruise Center<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/singaporecruise_lng-cruisesustainability-decarbonisation-activity-7331629860722749440-Mh2p?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAACCddTcB7oEtLdhEDiDAbyhiZN2XriOnKyg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  The operation marks the debut of Shell LNG supply to a cruise ship in this part of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":260375,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13048],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-260727","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-maritime"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/260727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/260727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=260727"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=260727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
