Role
The terminal supplies about half of Singapore's natural gas for power generation, the remainder coming by pipeline.
The SLNG Terminal has an annualised average gas supply capacity of 9 million tonnes per annum and a peak capacity of up to 11 million tonnes per annum. It receives, stores and sends out natural gas, mainly for power generation, so tank, jetty and send-out areas are gas-hazardous. An explosion proof mobile phone 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. An operator's own vendor approval is a separate step. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

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.
The terminal supplies about half of Singapore's natural gas for power generation, the remainder coming by pipeline.
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 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.
It has two jetties and four storage tanks: three of 180,000 cubic metres and a fourth of 260,000 cubic metres, one of the largest LNG tanks in the world.
Natural gas now generates over 90 percent of Singapore's electricity, compared with under 20 percent in 2000, so continuity of send-out is treated as a national energy-security matter.
SLNG began building a new LNG truck loading facility in August 2025, adding road-tanker loading to the terminal, and describes itself as the owner of Asia's first open-access, multi-user LNG terminal.
“Explosion proof” is the phrase most buyers use for equipment that may be taken into a classified hazardous area. Strictly, it covers several protection concepts: a flameproof enclosure (Ex d) contains an internal explosion, while intrinsic safety (Ex i) limits electrical energy so that an ignition cannot start. Phones are normally intrinsically safe, because a flameproof handset would be too heavy to carry all shift.
The IS-04Z1 uses intrinsic safety, with a marking target of Ex ib IIC T4, and is designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21. It is pre-launch, certification is in progress and no certificate has been issued.
In Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island. On an LNG site, explosion-proof is a loose label. Flameproof Ex d suits fixed equipment such as pump motors at the send-out area, while a handheld phone used near tanks and loading arms depends on intrinsic safety. The IS-04Z1 is designed for the latter, with certification in progress.
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 yet. The IS-04Z1 is pre-launch and its certification is still in progress ahead of a Q4 2026 launch. No unit goes into a classified area before the certificate covering it exists. The datasheet, the certification schedule and safe-area evaluation units are available now.
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.
It is intrinsically safe (marking target Ex ib IIC T4), which is the usual way to make a phone for hazardous areas. It is not a flameproof (Ex d) design, and certification is still in progress.
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.
