A study into the potential for ammonia bunkering in Singapore has recruited two major heavyweights: shipping giant Mitsui OSK Lines and French oil major Total.

The project, which was initially launched in June 2020 by Japanese trading house Itochu and terminal operator Vopak, has also brought Singapore LNG player Pavilion Energy on board.

Itochu said the three new partners will be able to contribute their individual expertise to the study including their experience of LNG bunkering in the city state.
