The Singapore LNG Terminal, situated on Jurong Island, is a critical infrastructure facility that ensures the nation's energy security by diversifying its natural gas sources. Launched in 2013, it was the first open-access, multi-user liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Asia, allowing Singapore to import gas from various global suppliers. The terminal has an annual throughput capacity of 11 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), supported by multiple storage tanks and regasification facilities. By reducing reliance on piped natural gas from neighboring countries, the terminal provides a stable and flexible energy supply for the power generation and petrochemical sectors. It also serves as a regional hub for LNG bunkering and small-scale LNG distribution across Southeast Asia.
