MARITIME AND PORT AUTHORITY OF SINGAPORE REVOKES SOUTHERNPEC
(SINGAPORE) PTE LTD’S BUNKER SUPPLIER LICENCE
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has revoked the bunker
supplier licence of Southernpec (Singapore) Pte Ltd (“Southernpec”), with effect from
29 May 2019. Southernpec will cease to operate as a bunker supplier in the Port of
Singapore.
2 During a recent enforcement check, MPA found that Southernpec had failed to
ensure that its employees comply with the terms and conditions of their licence. Its
employees engaged in bunker malpractices, which include the use of magnets to
interfere with the mass flow meter during bunkering operations. Its cargo officers also
did not record the information in the bunkering documents accurately, which breached
the terms and conditions of its bunker supplier licence.
3 MPA reminds all bunker licensees to adhere strictly to the terms and conditions
of their licences. MPA will take firm action against any licensee who has acted in
contravention of its licence(s), including the suspension or revocation of licence(s).
