The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has, with effect from 24 June 2013, cancelled the licences of two bunkering service providers for contravening the terms and conditions of their bunkering licences.
2 Golden Lights HS Bunkering Pte Ltd’s Bunkering Licence (Bunker Supplier) was cancelled as they allowed another company to use their Bunker Delivery Notes (BDNs) to supply bunkers to the customers of that other company in breach of Clause 3 of the terms and conditions of the Bunkering Licence (Bunker Supplier). Shing Li Shipping Pte Ltd’s Bunk
ering Licence (Bunker Craft Operator) was cancelled as they were found to have breached Clause 31 of the terms and conditions of the Bunkering Licence (Bunker Craft Operator) for delivering bunkers on behalf of an unlicensed company to customers of that company.
3 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, obliga
tions 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.
4 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.
