NON-RENEWAL OF BUNKERING LICENCE (BUNKER SUPPLIER) DUE TO

CONTRAVENTION OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE BUNKERING

LICENCE

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has, on 1 July 2013,

decided not to renew the Bunkering Licence (Bunker Supplier) of Coast-

Channels Marine Services Pte Ltd (“Coast-Channels”) for allowing other

companies to use Coast-Channels’ Bunker Delivery Notes (BDNs) to supply

bunkers to the customers of those other companies in breach of Clause 3 of the

terms and conditions of the Bunkering Licence (Bunker Supplier). This non-

renewal of licence is akin to a cancellation.

2 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.

3 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 any

of the terms and conditions of its Licences.

4 Please contact Mr Md Elfian Harun at tel. no. 6375 1951 or email to
