Role
The terminal supplies about half of Singapore's natural gas for power generation, the remainder coming by pipeline.
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. It receives, stores and sends out natural gas, mainly for power generation, so tank, jetty and send-out areas are gas-hazardous. Distribution partners for Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island are being identified ahead of the Q4 2026 launch of the IS-04Z1.
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.
Where things stand: the IS-04Z1 has not launched, and none of its four certification routes has produced a certificate yet. A buyer's engineering review is separate from the certificate. 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.
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.
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.
A hazardous area is a place where flammable gas, vapour or combustible dust may be present. Standards divide these into zones: Zones 0, 1 and 2 for gas and vapour, and Zones 20, 21 and 22 for dust. Zone 1 and Zone 21 are the tier where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation, which is where the IS-04Z1 is designed to work. Anything carried in must be marked for the zone, gas group and temperature class of the area.
No certificate has been issued for the IS-04Z1 yet, so it must not be taken into a classified area until the certificate covering it exists and the site operator has accepted it.
In Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island. The classified areas at this terminal are the LNG storage tanks, the jetties and loading arms, regasification and send-out, and small-scale reloading. SLNG classifies these, not SAMS. A specifier should ask for the area classification documents and keep any device off a location whose zone has not been confirmed.
SAMS is appointing authorised distributors ahead of the Q4 2026 launch. No territory has been granted for Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island yet and applications are reviewed company by company. Because a certified Ex device cannot be opened by an ordinary phone workshop without invalidating its certificate, SAMS looks for partners who can provide competent technical support and after-sales service locally.
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.
No price is published. While certification is in progress there is no list price and no committed lead time, and a supplier quoting a firm figure for an uncertified Ex handset is promising something it cannot stand behind. Indicative pre-launch pricing is issued in writing against a stated quantity and site.
Zone 1 and Zone 21 (gas and dust) with gas group IIC and temperature class T4, subject to certification. It must not be used in a classified area before its certificate is issued and the site has accepted it.
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.
