The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore reported record port performance for 2025 and set out several initiatives for a broader marine-fuel future. Its release covers conventional bunkering activity alongside LNG licensing, work on standards and plans connected with methanol and ammonia readiness. The publication therefore describes a port ecosystem preparing for several fuel pathways rather than a single replacement fuel. For storage and logistics professionals, this raises practical questions about segregation, handling procedures, vessel interfaces and documentation. This independently summarised report concerns Singapore’s port authority initiatives, not Dalian North Oil activity.

Why this matters for storage and logistics

Marine-fuel requirements should state the product, delivery method and vessel context from the start. That makes it possible to identify a relevant terminal discussion without assuming universal product capability.
