Through its unit, Pavilion Gas, a licensed LNG bunker supplier in the Port of Singapore, demonstrated its truck-to-ship bunkering capabilities in 2017, and further expanded its bunker logistics with the charter of its first LNG bunker vessel newbuild in February 2019, the company said in its statement.
