MPA revokes Panoil Petroleum's bunker craft operator licence

[SINGAPORE] Panoil Petroleum Pte Ltd will no longer be allowed to operate as a bunker craft operator in the Port of Singapore as its licence has been revoked with effect from Aug 14, said the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

The licence was revoked after checks by the MPA on Panoil between January and March 2017, the statement said.

The checks revealed that unauthorized alterations were made on board five bunker tankers operated by Panoil Petroleum, the statement said.
