PetroChina International has been ranked as Singapore's leading bunker supplier by sales volume in 2021, according to data released by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

The Singapore subsidiary of PetroChina rose three places to top the supplier list — regaining the position it previously held in 2019, with Equatorial Marine Fuel Management Services remaining in second and Shell Eastern Trading dropping two places to third.

Also making up the top five were Vitol Bunkers, rising six places from tenth, and TFG Marine, up 11 to fifth.

Glencore Singapore managed to hold on to sixth place, whilst BP Singapore, Sentek Marine & Trading and Global Energy Trading all lost ground — falling to seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively.

Meanwhile, Hong Lam Fuels was the supplier to rise the most up the list, from 24th to 10th.

Other companies to improve their ranking significantly were Sirius Marine, rising 12 places to 29th; TFG Marine, with its previously mentioned 11-place jump; Minerva Bunkering, up nine to 13th; CNC Petroleum, climbing eight to 28th; and Bunker House Petroleum's improvement from 39th to 31st.

The biggest declines were recorded by Pegasus Maritime, which fell 12 places to 39th, and Palmstone Tankers & Trading, which descended 10 to 30th. They were the only companies to see double-digit drop-offs.
