Sembcorp Marine, ABS and A*Star’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) are to collaborate on developing new technologies, applications and capabilities to promote the adoption of LNG as fuel.
The three organisations signed a memorandum of understanding at Sembcorp Marine’s Tanjong Kling Yard on the initiative, which will make use of each partner’s relevant expertise, ie Sembcorp Marine’s offshore, marine and energy value chain solutions, ABS’ LNG certification and operational technology application experience and IHPC’s high-performance computing, system modelling and advanced simulation experience.
Areas of collaboration will include utilising IHPC and ABS’ simulation capabilities and gas expertise to ensure Sembcorp Marine’s gas value chain solutions for small-scale LNG applications. Another area of co-operation is a focus on offshore LNG processing, transfer and containment, as well as finding new applications for LNG as a sustainable fuel. They will also develop and conduct training and technical workshops through Sembcorp’s Marine Academy to boost knowledge and skills to support LNG tech-related businesses.
Sembcorp Marine president and chief executive Wong Weng Sun said “While the benefits of LNG as an environmentally sustainable and affordable fuel are conclusive, we can do much more in the offshore, marine and energy sectors to advance its adoption as a preferred fuel for global consumption.”
