Two Singaporean firms have bunker licences cancelled


Golden Lights HS Bunkering and Shing Li Shipping have their licences cancelled in Singapore.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has, with effect from 24 June 2013, cancelled the licences of two bunker companies for contravening the terms and conditions of their bunkering licences.

According to the MPA, Golden Lights HS Bunkering Pte. Ltd.’s bunkering licence as a supplier was cancelled for allowing another company to use their Bunker Delivery Notes (BDNs) to supply marine fuel to their clients - a practice which is in breach of clause 3 of the terms and conditions of the bunkering licence.

Shing Li Shipping Pte. Ltd.'s bunkering licence as a bunker craft operator was cancelled as the firm was said to have breached clause 31 of the terms and conditions of the bunkering licence for delivering bunkers on behalf of an unlicensed company to customers of that company.

In a reminder to other bunker companies operating in Singapore, the MPA said: "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. All licensed bunker craft operators are also reminded that 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.

"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," the port authority added.
