據烴加工新聞3月10日消息稱，Pavilion能源公司和新加坡液化天然氣公司（SLNG）簽署了一項為期五年的協議，在裕廊島SLNG終端進行液化天然氣儲存和再裝填服務，進一步加強了雙方的合作。這是首個為期兩年以上、經過競爭性投標程序簽署的此類協議。

根據該協議，未來5年，Pavilion能源公司將在SLNG終端獲得18萬立方米的獨立產能。這些產能將支持更多的液化天然氣貿易活動，包括液化天然氣散貨和船舶冷卻服務。該合同的期限較長，使Pavilion能源公司在管理其液化天然氣投資組合、市場波動和需求動態方面具有更大的靈活性。

Pavilion能源公司首席執行官Frédéric H. Barnaud表示：“Pavilion能源公司很高興與SLNG續簽合作伙伴關系。新加坡的儲罐容量為亞太地區的液化天然氣優化和交易提供了更大的機會。它很好地補充了我們在大西洋盆地的液化天然氣/天然氣貿易活動。Pavilion能源公司恪守我們的承諾，為SLNG終端的廣泛使用提供便利，為新加坡液化天然氣市場的活力做出了貢獻。”

SLNG的首席執行官Tan Soo Koong表示：“SLNG很高興通過這個長期的儲存和重新裝載服務協議來擴展我們與Pavilion能源公司的合作。SLNG已經采取了大膽的步驟來開發基礎設施和創建新的服務來滿足行業的需求，我們將繼續這樣做。我們已準備好發揮我們的作用，通過促進液化天然氣相關業務，如液化天然氣貿易、小型液化天然氣分銷、液化天然氣燃料供應等業務，幫助新加坡實現成為液化天然氣中心的雄心。”

全球液化天然氣貿易繼續增長，2018年進口量達到3.13億噸，其中現貨貿易占四分之一。2018年，新加坡的液化天然氣再出口總量在全球排名第二，而Pavilion能源公司是新加坡再出口總量的主要貢獻者之一。鑒于新加坡在關鍵航運路線上的戰略地理位置，以及擁有40多家液化天然氣公司，它完全有能力成為該地區領先的液化天然氣中心之一。

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.
