Storage and capacity
SLNG states three tanks of 180,000 cubic metres each plus a fourth of 260,000 cubic metres, with average send-out capacity of 9 million tonnes per annum and a peak of around 11.
The SLNG Terminal sits on a 40-hectare plot at the southern-most tip of Jurong Island and began commercial operations in May 2013. It receives, stores and sends out natural gas, mainly for power generation, so tank, jetty and send-out areas are gas-hazardous. An Ex-proof smartphone distributor in Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island would carry the IS-04Z1 to these buyers once certification completes.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island has no appointed SAMS distributor yet: the IS-04Z1 is pre-launch (certification in progress, no certificate issued, launch planned for Q4 2026), and distributor applications are open.
Current position: certification in progress, nothing issued, launch targeted for Q4 2026. A buyer's engineering review is separate from the certificate. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

| Ex marking | Group, category, protection concept, gas group, temperature class | II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4 (target) |
| Gas group | IIA, IIB or IIC matched to the area drawing | IIC (target) |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Singapore LNG. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
Who operates there and which kinds of classified area a handset would meet, from the SAMS site research.
SLNG states three tanks of 180,000 cubic metres each plus a fourth of 260,000 cubic metres, with average send-out capacity of 9 million tonnes per annum and a peak of around 11.
Two jetties accommodate LNG vessels from 2,000 to 265,000 cubic metres, up to the largest Q-Max carriers.
When it opened in 2013 the terminal had a single jetty and two storage tanks, and it has been expanded in stages as Singapore's LNG demand grew.
Gas and LNG facilities are covered by Singapore's Workplace Safety and Health framework, and Major Hazard Installations need documented area classification drawings under MOM and SCDF rules.
SLNG plans to develop a second LNG terminal, an offshore facility slated to be operational by the end of the decade, in addition to the Jurong Island terminal.
The terminal supplies about 50 percent of the natural gas used for Singapore's electricity, with the rest coming by pipeline, and it could cover all present demand if required.
“Ex-proof” is shorthand for equipment carrying an explosion-protection marking (the Ex mark) that matches the area it enters. The marking states the protection concept, gas or dust group and temperature class, and it must be backed by a certificate issued by a recognised body, so a phone described as Ex-proof should come with a certificate number you can check.
The IS-04Z1 is designed to carry the marking II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4. That is a target: certification is in progress, no certificate has been issued, and SAMS will publish the certificate numbers when they exist.
In Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island. The site description puts tank, jetty and send-out areas at Zone 1 and Zone 2, with methane the main gas, which is usually Group IIA. A marking check would compare the device label with the operator's classification. The IS-04Z1 target marking is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4, not yet issued.
A distributor for Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island would carry the IS-04Z1 after certification completes; the Q4 2026 launch is the planning date and no appointment has been made. SAMS reviews applicants one by one and prefers companies with their own Ex-competent technical and service staff, since certified devices must not be repaired outside approved channels.
Not today. Until the certificates are issued the IS-04Z1 stays out of classified areas, and until launch there is nothing to purchase. You can ask for the datasheet and the certification schedule, or book a safe-area evaluation unit.
There is no list price yet. SAMS gives indicative pre-launch pricing in writing, against a stated quantity and site, and does not commit to a lead time before certification completes.
The marking target is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4. It becomes a marking only when the certificate is issued; until then it is a design target.
Likely candidates are lng storage tanks, lng jetties and loading arms, regasification and send-out. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
Apply through the distributor page with your company details and the territory you cover. SAMS reviews applications company by company and has not yet granted a territory for Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island.
Because natural gas supplies more than 90 percent of electricity, the terminal's continuity is a national priority, and maintenance on tanks, jetties and send-out systems is planned carefully. Short windows mean contractors usually need tools and devices approved before they arrive.
SLNG states an average capacity of 9 million tonnes per year and a peak of up to 11 million, with two jetties and four storage tanks, one of 260,000 cubic metres. A site of this scale uses several contractors, so expect formal induction and permits.
Jurong Island is a protected place, and SLNG controls site access and equipment approval. A demonstration would need security passes and operator agreement, and the IS-04Z1 has no certificate yet. Confirm requirements with the operator before bringing devices on site.
