Having found irregularities with some of its mass flow meters Singapore’s Maritime Port Authority has suspended the harbour craft licences of five bunker tankers belonging to Panoil Petroleum.

Panoil operates a fleet of 11 ships, according to its website.

Effective January 1, Singapore became the world’s first port to mandate the use of mass flow metres on all bunker vessels operating in Singapore, the world’s largest bunkering hub.
