The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has decided to suspend Glencore’s bunkering licence for two months following an investigation into a recent bunker fuel contamination in Singapore port.

The move comes following the completion of an investigation into bunker fuel contamination in the port earlier this year. Namely, contamination cases started to emerge in March 2022 as a number of ships had been supplied with high sulphur fuel oil containing high concentration levels of chlorinated organic compounds.
