Ammonia Infrastructure Solutions in Singapore

An industry leader, Vopak has more than 20 years of global experience in providing critical infrastructure solutions that enable the safe import, storage and distribution of ammonia. All these backed by a proven safety track record, and to the highest quality standards. 

Many of Vopak’s ammonia facilities are developed on a multi-user and commingled storage basis to facilitate the growth of an ecosystem whilst allowing all users to benefit from the economies of scale. Utilizing our extensive knowledge and expertise, Vopak has actively worked with numerous government agencies and regulators to co-develop new ammonia standards to support the expanded usage of ammonia as a fuel. We have shared insights and recommendations regarding pertinent regulations, policies, and guidelines that govern ammonia storage and associated technologies.

Vopak already owns and operates several ammonia terminals at six locations worldwide, establishing us as a reliable and strategic partner for our clients worldwide. Worldwide, we are working with international and local partners of the value chain on ammonia opportunities for a low-zero carbon future including INPEX, IHI, H2U, A*STAR and GASUNIE. See some of our global projects here.

In Singapore, the Vopak team has unparalleled knowledge and experience in safely storing and handling ammonia for close to 10 years. With a solid safety record, we are the only independent infrastructure partner in Singapore with proven expertise and assets in storing ammonia safely. Our highly trained and experienced team of 80 specialists have an in-depth understanding of ammonia handling, ensuring the highest quality and safety standards. Beyond the local expertise, we can access deep expertise of our global network of subject matter experts where needed. 

Vopak’s Banyan Terminal on Jurong Island serves all Singapore ammonia users via pipelines or trucks and can optimize the land usage for more supply chain connections. Currently, Vopak owns and operates a refrigerated ammonia tank with a capacity of 10,000 cbm. 

Banyan is located within 2km of most of the major power generation plants on Jurong island and has existing waterfront infrastructure to enable bunkering without any major modifications. 

Our existing pipelines have built-in sensors to monitor the pipelines for leaks on a 24/7 basis with automated isolation valves to prevent any significant leaks from occurring. Equipped with a dedicated gas jetty, our Banyan terminal has ammonia import and export capabilities and is able to berth Very Large Gas Carriers at a draft of 15m. 

In response to the growing demand for sustainable energy, we are preparing new ammonia storage infrastructure with full import and export capabilities for low carbon power generation and bunker fuels at our Banyan terminal on Jurong Island. Additionally, we are exploring dedicated ammonia technology test-beds. Tapping on Vopak’s existing infrastructure and expertise in safe handling of ammonia, new technologies in cracking, fuel cell and safety can be tested. Globally Vopak is committed to investing € 1 billion to accelerate new energies and sustainable feedstocks.
