Marine fuel supplier Southernpec loses bunker supplier license

Its employees engaged in bunker malpractices, an enforcement check found.

Marine fuel supplier Southernpec will cease to operate as a bunker supplied in the Port of Singapore after the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) revoked its bunker supplier license, with effect from 29 May, an announcement revealed.

During a recent enforcement check, MPA found that Southernpec had failed to ensure that its employees complied 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,” MPA explained.

According to the agency, all bunker licensees must 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, including the suspension or revocation of licence.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
