The second Singapore Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal Project will be a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) which will be developed in Singapore.
The project will be developed, owned, and operated by Singapore LNG (SLNG), a Singapore state owned LNG terminal operator.
Recommended White Papers
In October 2023, the development initiative was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore Lawrence Wong at the Sand Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore.
For the development of the project, SLNG signed an agreement in October 2024 with Jurong Port.
The start of operations for the project is planned for the end of the Decade that is December 2029.
Once operational, the LNG terminal would enhance the LNG storage capacity of SLNG and support the development of Singapore as a trading and bunkering hub for LNG.
Along with the currently operating SLNG Terminal, the project will support the developer to increase its combined LNG throughput capacity to up to 15mtpa.
Singapore LNG Terminal 2 Location
The Singapore LNG Terminal Project will be developed on Jurong Island.
The island lies southwest of Singapore and is made up from a group of seven offshore islands under the land reclamation programme of Singapore.
Singapore LNG Terminal 2 Details
The Singapore LNG Terminal Project will comprise of a FSRU, connection to the grid, and a gas pipeline.
The FSRU of the terminal will be an LNG ship. It will be equipped with regasification facilities. The terminal will be flexible in function as the FSRU could be easily redeployed to other location as a receiving terminal when needed.
The FSRU will be 298.8m in length and 51m wide. It will have an LNG storage capacity of 200,000m3.
The FSRU will consist of, an LNG carrier, regasification trains, gas metering systems, a High Pressure (HP) gas export manifold, a transfer pipeline, cryogenic hoses, and LNG storage facilities.
LNG received by the FSRU from other ships will be transferred via cryogenic hoses and will have a temperature of -160oC. It will be heated by the regasification trains and pressurised at 100 bar and 10oC to return to a gaseous state.
The heated, regasified, and high-pressure gas will be stored in LNG storage tanks and transferred via a loading arm or hose to the transfer pipeline.
For the project, the onshore infrastructure would be developed which will be connected to the offshore FSRU.
The onshore pipelines would connect the FSRU to the onshore infrastructure and further to the Singapore gas pipeline network.
The transfer pipeline will transport gas to the onshore pipelines which would be sent to the Singapore gas pipeline network.
Contractors Involved
In October 2024, the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract for the development of the Singapore LNG Terminal Project was awarded to Wood, a consulting and engineering company in the world.
Under the contract, Wood will provide reviewing services for the design of the FSRU and coordinate the integration of the FSRU into the onshore connecting infrastructure.
Wood will employ 50 employees based in Singapore to fulfil the contract. The subject matter experts in Ireland and Scotland will support the marine infrastructure design.
The Spanish workers will support the FSRU design.
In October 2024, a long-term time charter contract was signed between SLNG and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) for the FSRU.
The FSRU will be built at Hanwha Ocean, a South Korean ship builder, headquarter in South Korea.
The FSRU will be owned, managed, and operated by MOL.
