BP remains top supplier in Singapore

BP Singapore Pte Ltd. has been named the port of Singapore's leading bunker supplier by volume in 2011, 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 ninth year in a row.

The most significant change to last year's Top 20 list of leading suppliers was the entry of Brightoil Petroleum (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. to second spot, pushing oil major ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. out of the Top 2 for the first time in several years and keeping SK Energy International Pte. Ltd out of the Top 3 for the first time since 2008.

Another company to surge its way into the Top 20 for the first time was Universal Energy Pte. Ltd., in eighth place. Hong Fatt Oil Trading Pte. Ltd. was another new entry this year and Golden Island Diesel Oil Trading re-entered the Top 20 list for the first time since 2007.

Companies to rise up the list were Sentek Marine & Trading Pte. Ltd. and Equatorial Marine Fuel Management Services Pte. Ltd. - a company which re-entered the Top 10 after having fallen three places to eleventh in 2010.

After entering the Top 15 for the first time in 2010, O.W. Bunker Far East (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. improved its position last year, as did Alliance Oil Trading Pte. Ltd. and Toyota Tsusho Petroleum (S) Pte. Ltd..

Meanwhile, Northwest Resources Pte. Ltd, Hai Yin Marine Ptd Ltd., Singamas Petroleum Trading Pte Ltd. and Gas Trade (S) Ptd Ltd. failed to make last year's list.
