Shell and CMA CGM have entered into a multi-year agreement on the supply of LNG fuel for CMA CGM ships in the Port of Singapore.
As partofthe deal, the LNG bunkering will be executed by FueLNG, a joint venture between a unit of Shell in Singapore and Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M).
The bunkering will be made utilizing Singapore’s first LNG bunkering vessel, FueLNG Bellina, beginning in the second half of 2023.
A second 18,000 cbm capacity LNG bunker vessel is planned to come into service in 2023. Ship-to-ship bunkering allows for simultaneous operation (SIMOPS) while in port.
CMA CGM, which started investing in LNG fuel since 2017, is in the process of constructing the biggest fleet of dual-fuel LNG containerships in shipping.
The company recently ordered 10 additional LNG-powered ships, bringing its orderbook to 69 vessels, the majority of which are planned for LNG operation.
Shell’s latest supply agreement corresponds to CMA CGM’s 13,000 TEU ships.
