Singapore LNG received its first shipment of LNG, for thecommissioning of the terminal, on 27 March 2013. Then on 7 May 2013 the first commercialLNG cargo from BG Group wassuccessfully off-loaded at the terminal.
At the stroke of midnight, the LNG was regasified and sent out through the terminal to theSingapore gas network.
We played a key role in thisproject as PMC, providingexpertise and leadership to bothSLNG’s project management andSamsung C&T’s EPC team.
With the strong contribution from our team, the project wasexecuted with no lost-time injuriesand a total recordable injury rateof less than 0.24 per 200,000manhours - a great achievementconsidering that more than 15 million manhours wereexpended on the project.
The LNG terminal has an initialregasification capacity of 3.5million tonnes per annum (mtpa).
A third LNG tank, additionalregasification facilities and asecondary berth are currentlyunder construction. We areworking as PMC on this secondphase, which will increase theregasification capacity to 6 mtpaby the end of 2013. Phase 3 FEEDfor a fourth tank and additionalfacilities for the potential futureexpansion of the terminal is in progress.
