Petronas and Tiger Gas launch LNG bunkering business

PETRONAS and TIGER GAS partnership advances with LNG bunkering business. The commemorative event was attended by (L-R): Head of PETRONAS Marine's LNG Bunker Sales Mohd Firdaus Kamilrudin, Chief Representative of PETRONAS Beijing Representative Office Lisy Lee, PETRONAS Vice President of Refining, Marketing & Trading Ahmad Adly Alias, Chairman of TIGER GROUP Gerry Wang, President of TIGER GAS Junfeng Xu and Vice President of TIGER GAS Glenn Qu.
 

Hong Kong’s Gerry Wang-led Tiger Gas and Malaysia’s Petronas have inaugurated a new LNG bunkering business following the completion of its maiden ship-to-ship bunkering operation. The first operation was for 500 tonnes of LNG for the Tiger Maanshan, the world’s largest dual-fuel deck cargo ship.
 

Vice president of Refining, Marketing & Trading Ahmad Adly Alias said, “We are committed to making sustainability the cornerstone of our operations in China by providing energy solutions that would help accelerate the progress towards the country’s “Dual Carbon” goal whilst collectively contributing to the energy industry growth alongside our partners.”

The partnership between PETRONAS and TIGER GAS began in 2020, when the two companies signed a sale and purchase agreement to supply the Chinese market with LNG via ISO tanks. The agreement allows small and medium-sized businesses located at remote areas access to natural gas, while helping them achieve their sustainability goals.
 

Tiger Gas president Gerry Wang added, “TIGER and PETRONAS have maintained a sound partnership for a long time. Today, offshore ship-to-ship LNG bunkering has greatly shortened the turnaround of LNG carrier vessels, laying a solid foundation for a more efficient and greener LNG supply chain. In the future, TIGER GAS will continue to work together with PETRONAS to facilitate the energy transition.”
