Pavilion能源与新加坡LNG公司签署LNG协议

据烃加工新闻3月10日消息称，Pavilion能源公司和新加坡液化天然气公司（SLNG）签署了一项为期五年的协议，在裕廊岛SLNG终端进行液化天然气储存和再装填服务，进一步加强了双方的合作。这是首个为期两年以上、经过竞争性投标程序签署的此类协议。

根据该协议，未来5年，Pavilion能源公司将在SLNG终端获得18万立方米的独立产能。这些产能将支持更多的液化天然气贸易活动，包括液化天然气散货和船舶冷却服务。该合同的期限较长，使Pavilion能源公司在管理其液化天然气投资组合、市场波动和需求动态方面具有更大的灵活性。

Pavilion能源公司首席执行官Frédéric H. Barnaud表示：“Pavilion能源公司很高兴与SLNG续签合作伙伴关系。新加坡的储罐容量为亚太地区的液化天然气优化和交易提供了更大的机会。它很好地补充了我们在大西洋盆地的液化天然气/天然气贸易活动。Pavilion能源公司恪守我们的承诺，为SLNG终端的广泛使用提供便利，为新加坡液化天然气市场的活力做出了贡献。”

SLNG的首席执行官Tan Soo Koong表示：“SLNG很高兴通过这个长期的储存和重新装载服务协议来扩展我们与Pavilion能源公司的合作。SLNG已经采取了大胆的步骤来开发基础设施和创建新的服务来满足行业的需求，我们将继续这样做。我们已准备好发挥我们的作用，通过促进液化天然气相关业务，如液化天然气贸易、小型液化天然气分销、液化天然气燃料供应等业务，帮助新加坡实现成为液化天然气中心的雄心。”

全球液化天然气贸易继续增长，2018年进口量达到3.13亿吨，其中现货贸易占四分之一。2018年，新加坡的液化天然气再出口总量在全球排名第二，而Pavilion能源公司是新加坡再出口总量的主要贡献者之一。鉴于新加坡在关键航运路线上的战略地理位置，以及拥有40多家液化天然气公司，它完全有能力成为该地区领先的液化天然气中心之一。

Pavilion Energy and SLNG sign LNG agreement

Pavilion Energy Pte Ltd and Singapore LNG Corp. Pte Ltd (SLNG) have further strengthened their cooperation through the signing of a five-year agreement for LNG storage and reload services at the SLNG Terminal on Jurong Island. This is the first of such an agreement signed for a term longer than two years, following a competitive bid process.

Under the agreement, Pavilion Energy will have access to tank capacity of 180 000 m3 on a segregated basis at the SLNG Terminal over the next five years. Such capacity will support a higher volume of LNG trading activities, including LNG breakbulk and vessel cool-down services. The contract’s longer tenure allows Pavilion Energy greater flexibility in managing its LNG portfolio, market fluctuations and demand dynamics.

“Pavilion Energy is pleased to renew the partnership with SLNG. Tank capacity in Singapore presents greater opportunities for LNG optimisation and trading in the Asia-Pacific Basin. It complements well our LNG/gas trading activities in the Atlantic Basin,” said Frédéric H. Barnaud, Group CEO of Pavilion Energy, “Pavilion Energy has held true to our commitment to facilitate wide access to the SLNG Terminal, contributing to the vibrancy of Singapore’s LNG market.”

Tan Soo Koong, CEO of SLNG said, “SLNG is happy to extend our cooperation with Pavilion Energy through this longer term Storage and Reload Services agreement. SLNG has taken bold steps to develop infrastructure and create new service offerings to meet the needs of the industry, and we will continue to do so. We are primed to play our part in helping Singapore achieve its ambition of becoming an LNG hub, through catalysing LNG-related businesses such as LNG Trading, Small-Scale LNG Distribution, LNG Bunkering, and more.”

Global LNG trade continues to grow, with import volumes reaching 313 million t in 2018 and spot trades making up a quarter of those volumes. In 2018, Singapore ranked second worldwide in terms of LNG re-export volumes, and Pavilion Energy has been one of the key contributors to the total volume re-exported out of Singapore. Given its strategic geographic position along key shipping routes and being home to over 40 LNG companies, Singapore is well-positioned to become one of the leading LNG hubs in the region.
