Hong Lam Marine Pte Ltd launched the bunkering vessel PRIORITY at Jiangmen Hangtong Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. in China on 12 August 2026, marking a key step in the company's fleet renewal programme. PRIORITY is the first of four newbuild bunkering vessels ordered by Hong Lam Marine as part of the current series. The launching proceeded smoothly and safely despite high summer temperatures at the shipyard. The milestone was credited to the coordinated efforts of the project team, shipyard partners and other stakeholders throughout the construction process. PRIORITY is expected to be completed and delivered in the coming months, with the remaining three vessels in the series to follow as construction progresses. The launch forms part of a broader fleet renewal strategy for Hong Lam Marine, which operates bunkering vessels supporting marine fuel supply operations. No further details on the vessel's specifications or delivery schedule were disclosed.
