Singapore Ports and Tank Farms for Oil & Gas Storage

Singapore is a global leader in oil trading and bunkering, handling ~50% of the world’s crude oil transshipment and serving as the largest bunkering port globally. Its strategic location along the Singapore and Malacca Straits supports extensive storage for crude oil, refined products, petrochemicals, and fuel oil, with total onshore storage capacity at ~20 million cubic meters (m³) and significant floating storage (~2.6 million tons of fuel oil in 2025). The Port of Singapore, managed by the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) and PSA Singapore, is the world’s second-busiest port by tonnage and a critical hub for Asia’s energy trade. Data includes names, websites (where available), addresses, and key details for clarity.

Port of Singapore (Main Port, including Jurong and Tuas)

The Port of Singapore encompasses multiple terminals, with Jurong Island as the primary hub for oil and petrochemical storage.

Other Terminals

Notes

• Storage Capacity: Singapore’s total onshore storage is ~20 million m³, with ~8 million m³ by independent operators (e.g., Vopak, Oiltanking) and the rest by refiners (e.g., ExxonMobil, Shell). Floating storage in the Singapore Strait adds ~2.6 million tons, driven by cost advantages (S$3.50/ton vs. S$7/m³ onshore) and market backwardation.
• Bunkering Hub: Singapore is the world’s top bunkering port, with ~3.5 million tons/month marine fuel sales; key terminals like JPUT and PetroSeraya support this with fast-turnaround ops and MPA-licensed suppliers (e.g., BP, Glencore, Sinopec).
• Jurong Rock Caverns: Unique underground facility; phase 1 operational (1.47 million m³); phase 2 planned (1.32 million m³); enhances land-scarce Singapore’s capacity.
• Market Dynamics: Onshore tank leasing costs rose >25% in 2020 due to high demand; floating storage increased post-2022 Ukraine war for Russian fuel oil. Fuel oil stocks were ~19.44 million barrels in November 2023, down from 20.94 million in 2022.

Notes

• Landlocked Locations (e.g., Kampala, Kigali, La Paz): These rely on pipelines or trucking from coastal ports (e.g., Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Arica/San Antonio). Limited local storage is noted where applicable.
• Ports with Limited Data: For some facilities (e.g., Moroni, Sudan, Conakry), websites are unavailable due to state-owned operations or lack of public digital presence. Addresses are generalized to port areas where precise locations are not disclosed.
• Under Development: Facilities like Tanger-Med’s new oil terminal, Djibouti’s Damerjog, Lome’s UPG floating terminal, and others are noted as planned or under construction.
