I wonder if they've gotten permission to strip out seating from the ULR and carry cargo in the passenger cabin.

SQ maybe running "short" of A350s but from Dec SQ is only running close to 15% of their pre-covid flights only. If its indeed "short" of the 3 class A350s, it would be better to use its 77Ws to replace and free up the A350s for long thin routes like the SIN-SFO route as the 3 class A350s can carry some cargo to defray the costs rather than using the ULR which is not able to carry any cargo unless they modify it. Although the 77Ws may not be as efficient but it does carry more cargo than the A350s.

77W have been activated n dyploy on some of the routes. At least 5-6 77W are in service.

Yes as mentioned, not sure if SQ have done some modificatons to allow the ULR to carry some cargo in its belly. Believed there are less than 5 77Ws in service now, although 2 have been "converted" to carry cargo in the main deck by removing the seats.
