World's largest LNG-powered container ship calls at Singapore as maritime industry tackles climate change

SINGAPORE - The largest container ship in the world powered by liquefied natural gas docked in Singapore on Sunday , before loading up and heading onwards to Europe the next day.

"Not only is shipping keeping global supply chains open and goods flowing, new ships that also address other critical challenges are being put into operation," said Mr Chee, who viewed the ship at Pasir Panjang Terminal. In his speech, Mr Chee also reaffirmed Singapore's commitment, as a major transshipment port and bunkering hub, to supporting global efforts to fight climate change, such as in finding"innovative ways to provide for the future green fuel needs of the shipping industry".

The vessel started its maiden voyage from China on Sept 23, and passed through various ports before reaching Singapore on Sunday. Mr Stephane Courquin, head of CMA CGM in Asia and Oceania, said that LNG is the most advanced solution when it comes to preserving air quality today, and called it a"critical part of our energy transition strategy".

This is to become the new standard in seaborne transportation!!
