Greek Singapore move
Dec 16 (LNGJ) - Greece-based company Probunkers has responded to the Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) Request for Proposal for new licensees to supply liquefied natural gas in the Asian city-state port. “Our submission request for an LNG bunkering licence for the Port of Singapore supports our quest to become the first independent global LNG bunker supplier,” said Probunkers Chief Executive Alexander Prokopakis.
“The LNG-fuelled fleet is growing and we see an increasing interest from charterers and shipowners for LNG as a marine fuel,” explained Prokopakis. “It is widely acceptable that in order to see significant development in LNG as a marine fuel changes need to be made. It is time for more commercial and transparent practices along the lines of traditional oil bunkering. Having long-term contracts and commitments was the way of doing business in the past. The industry needs to move forward,” stated the CEO.
