Singapore is pressing ahead with plans for a floating LNG terminal, its second such import facility, a government minister has confirmed.

Last November the city state’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) issued a non-binding expression of interest (EOI) for private companies to build, own and operate such a facility.

Tan See Leng, Singapore’s second minister for trade and industry, said the EOI had been “well received” by the industry, but gave few other details.
