    This is in tandem with a nearly 20 per cent month-on-month drop in oil tanker gross tonnage arriving in Singapore.

    According to statistics from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) published on Thursday (May 14), bunker sales stood at about 4.4 million tonnes in April, down 8.7 per cent from nearly 4.8 million tonnes in March.
