BP remains top supplier in Singapore

BP Singapore Pte Ltd. has been named the port of Singapore's leading bunker supplier by volume in 2012, according to data released by the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA).

In a list of the 20 top bunker suppliers at the world's largest bunker port last year, BP Singapore retained the position of leading supplier for the tenth year in a row.

The most significant change to last year's Top 5 places was the rise of Sentek Marine & Trading Pte. Ltd. from fifth to second position, whilst Brightoil Petroleum (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. - which entered the Top 20 list for the first time in 2011 - fell one place last year to third. Meanwhile, Chemoil International Pte. Ltd. entered the Top 5 for the first time after rising one place to fifth.

Meanwhile, oil major ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. dropped out of the Top 3 for the first time in several years, falling three places to sixth.

Companies to rise up the list into the Top 10 were Transocean Oil Pte. Ltd., Shell Eastern Trading Pte Ltd and Hong Fatt Oil Trading Pte. Ltd.. Shell had dropped out of the Top 10 list in 2011, having previously been a Top 5 supplier in 2008 and 2009, whilst Hong Fatt and Transocean entered the Top 10 for the first time in 2012, jumping nine and ten places respectively.
