Pavilion Energy Singapore and Gasum have agreed to jointly develop an international LNG bunker supply network for their customers in Singapore and northern Europe, including the ARA ports of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp.

Under a memorandum of understanding (MOU), the partners will leverage each other's LNG bunker infrastructure and supply capabilities, in their respective regions of operations, to provide global supply points for their customers.

The partnership combines Pavilion Energy's LNG bunkering expertise in Southeast Asia with Gasum's experience as an LNG bunker solutions provider in Northwest Europe.

Commenting on the accord, Frédéric H. Barnaud, Group CEO of Pavilion Energy, remarked: "Pavilion Energy is thrilled to partner with Gasum and provide customers with a wide supply LNG bunker network for ocean-going vessels sailing between the Far East and Northern Europe."

"We will complement this alliance with additional LNG bunkering partnerships in the Mediterranean, North Asia and the Americas. Our network will combine global commercial offerings with regional operational expertise and bring further momentum to the emergence of a thriving LNG bunkering industry."

Johanna Lamminen, CEO of Gasum, said: "This partnership underlines our aim to build a world-wide partner network. For our customers this mean[s] that we will support them with LNG wherever they are. We are very happy for having Pavilion Energy as a partner in the Far East supporting our shipping customers."
