石油设备网讯 据世界天然气4月15日消息，吉宝运工(Keppel O&M)与壳牌东方石油(Shell Eastern Petroleum)成立的合资企业FueLNG，在新加坡完成了其第100次液化天然气加燃料业务，树立了一个新的里程碑。
吉宝周一表示，100项液化天然气加注作业已顺利完成，没有发生任何损失时间的事故，并符合该国的液化天然气加注标准。
自2018年5月以来，FueLNG一直在为吉宝Smit Towage运营的两艘双燃料拖船提供卡车到船的液化天然气燃料补给。FueLNG还能够为液化天然气系统和机械的调试提供液化天然气，并为以天然气为燃料的船舶提供试验。
2017年9月，FueLNG完成首个运营，为海上液化船Hilli Episeyo的调试提供液化天然气。
Keppel O&M首席执行官兼FueLNG董事长Chris Ong表示:“我们乐观地认为，该行业将越来越多地采用液化天然气作为海洋燃料，并期待与行业利益相关者进一步加强合作，在新加坡建立一个世界级的液化天然气燃料供应网络。”
壳牌全球下游公司（Shell Global Downstream）负责人、燃料总监塔希尔·法鲁基（Tahir Faruqui）补充说：“2020年交付我们的液化天然气燃料船，是未来几年建立一个稳健可靠的全球液化天然气燃料供应链的重要一步，因为我们能够通过为最终客户提供船对船服务来增加液化天然气的供应。”
FueLNG于2018年6月与吉宝运工(Keppel O&M)签署了一份订单，将建造东南亚第一艘液化天然气加油船，预计将于2020年第三季度完工。
值得注意的是，吉宝Smit Towage观察到，当使用液化天然气拖轮运行时，其效率与使用柴油时相同，但每吨耗油量减少5%。

FueLNG completes 100th LNG bunkering operation in Singapore
FueLNG, a joint venture between Keppel O&M and Shell Eastern Petroleum, has set a new milestone with the completion of its 100th LNG bunkering operation in Singapore.
Keppel said on Monday that the 100 LNG bunkering operations were completed without lost-time incidents and in accordance with the standards for LNG bunkering in the country.
Since May 2018, FueLNG has been providing truck-to-ship LNG bunkering for two dual-fuel tugs operated by Keppel Smit Towage. FueLNG is also able to provide LNG for the commissioning of LNG systems and machinery, and trials for gas-fuelled vessels.
In September 2017, FueLNG completed its first operation and provided LNG for the commissioning of the floating liquefaction vessel Hilli Episeyo.
Chris Ong, chairman of FueLNG and CEO of Keppel O&M, said: “We are optimistic that the industry will increasingly adopt LNG as a marine fuel and look forward to furthering our partnership with industry stakeholders to build a world-class LNG bunkering network in Singapore.”
Tahir Faruqui, director of FueLNG and the head of Shell Global Downstream, added: “The delivery of our LNG bunkering vessel in 2020 is an important step for growing a robust and reliable global LNG fuel supply chain in the years to come as we will be able to increase the availability of LNG with ship-to-ship services for our end clients.”
FueLNG placed an order in June 2018 with Keppel O&M to build Southeast Asia’s first LNG bunkering vessel set to be completed in the third quarter of 2020.
It is worth noting that Keppel Smit Towage observed that when running on LNG tugs perform as efficiently as when using diesel but consume 5% less fuel in tonnes.
