Singapore
AS Singapore's Hin Leong grapples with a debt fallout of nearly US$4 billion and a police probe into the company, its oil storage terminal on Jurong Island that is the size of 60 standard football fields is fast becoming a coveted asset.
The latest to be drawn to Universal Terminal (UT) is energy and commodities giant Vitol Group, according to sources. Industry watchers say part of the attraction of UT may be related to Vitol's part-owned global storage terminal owner and operator VVTI.
