Singapore authorities revoke Winbuild Petrofin's bunkering licenses

Winbuild Petrofin was found to have breached the terms and conditions of the bunker supplier's licence for delivering bunkers on behalf of an unlicensed company to customers of that company, according to MPA.

Winbuild is no longer allowed to operate as a bunker supplier and a bunker craft operator in Singapore port, MPA added.

“Singapore's success as the world's top bunkering port can be attributed to its stringent licensing requirements, quality assurance standards, active industry engagement and strict enforcement. 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 the bunkering licences," said Capt M Segar, MPA's assistant chief executive (operations).

MPA emphasised that the bunker supplier's licence is not transferable under the terms and conditions of the bunkering licence. It also stressed that all licensed bunker craft operators are advised not to make use of any bunker craft to deliver bunkers on behalf of any person, firm or company that is not a bunker supplier licensed by MPA.
