Under the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore’s (MPA) LNG Bunkering Pilot Programme, PSA Marine will receive a grant of up to SGD2m for each tug. The grants are part of a SGD12m ($8.9m) package to boost the development of LNG use in the maritime sector in Singapore.
PSA Marine takes pride in delivering high service standards and maintaining a strong safety track record. With the addition of two dual-fuel LNG harbour tugs to its fleet, it has taken a bigger step in adopting environmental corporate social responsibility practices in its support of MPA’s drive towards a sustainable maritime transport system, the PSA International unit said in a press release, without revealing specific details about the vessels or contract price.
“PSA Marine is excited to be one of the pioneers in Singapore to own and operate dual-fuel LNG harbour tugs. As a responsible corporate citizen, this is one of the ways which PSA Marine can play its part in reducing its carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions from our business operations,” said PSA Marine md Peter Chew.
