Singapore Advances Ammonia Bunkering Standards and Multi-Fuel Capabilities
What happened
The 24th Singapore International Bunkering Conference (SIBCON) was held in Singapore, focusing on charting a resilient multi-fuel future for the maritime sector. During the conference, a new Technical Reference for Ammonia Bunkering (TR 148) was launched, covering safety, bunkering procedures, and personnel competencies. Furthermore, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore and the Pilbara Ports Authority announced a collaboration to validate this reference through operational trials.
Why it matters
The initiatives announced at SIBCON aim to advance capabilities across different marine fuel pathways and strengthen assurance for ship-bunkering in Singapore. This effort supports the adoption of new fuels, such as ammonia, within the country's shipping and energy ecosystem.
