CANCELLATION OF COTEAM PETROLEUM TRADING PTE LTD’S BUNKER
SUPPLIER AND BUNKER CRAFT OPERATOR LICENCES DUE TO
CONTRAVENTION OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE LICENCES
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) cancelled the bunker
supplier and bunker craft operator licences that were issued to Coteam
Petroleum Trading Pte Ltd (“Coteam Petroleum”) with effect from 1 April 2014 as
they contravened the terms and conditions of the bunkering licences.
2 Coteam Petroleum was found to have breached Clause 3 of the terms and
conditions of the Bunkering Licence (Bunker Supplier) by allowing other
companies to use their Bunker Delivery Notes to supply bunkers. They were also
found to have breached Clause 31 of the terms and conditions of the Bunkering
Licence (Bunker Craft Operator) for delivering bunkers on behalf of an
unlicensed company to customers of that company.
3 All licensed Bunker Suppliers are reminded that under Clause 3 of the
terms and conditions of the Bunkering Licence (Bunker Supplier), bunker
suppliers shall not transfer, assign, sublet, share, part with or otherwise dispose
of any of their rights, duties, liabilities, obligations and privileges under the terms
and conditions of the Licence. In addition, under Clause 31 of the terms and
conditions of the Bunkering Licence (Bunker Craft Operator), bunker craft
operators shall not make use of any bunker craft to deliver bunkers on behalf of
any person, firm or company or which is not a bunker supplier licensed by MPA.
4 MPA will not hesitate to suspend or cancel the bunkering licence of any
Bunker Supplier or Bunker Craft Operator that is found to have contravened the
terms and conditions of its Licences.
