The company said that it will also facilitate the growth of Singapore as a global LNG bunkering hub.

The 7,500m³ vessel has been designed by Keppel Marine and Deepwater Technology (KMDTech), which is Keppel O&M’s technology arm.

The LBV features a barge-like extended flat surface to provide bunker to various ships.

The vessel has high manoeuvrability that will reduce tug utilisation during bunkering operations. It will cut down emissions and fuel consumption.

The company said that FueLNG Bellina is also the world’s first bunkering ship to deploy Smart Notation for its suite of digital services.

In addition, Keppel O&M’s proprietary VesselCare solutions will enable distant monitoring and provide real-time support during the vessel’s operations.

In October 2020, Keppel O&M secured a S$600m ($442m) contract from an energy company to deliver a ship for the offshore renewable energy sector.
