The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) on Monday (16 January) updated its list of top bunker suppliers by volume in 2022.
A survey conducted by Singapore marine fuels publication Manifold Times with selected industry sources revealed the estimated annual bunker sales volume for the republic’s top 10 Singapore bunker suppliers in 2022:

The republic welcomed a new bunker supplier Sinopec Fuel Oil (Singapore) Pte. Ltd in June 2022, making it the first new player in the world’s largest bunkering hub since April 2020. Despite a later start of the year, the firm claimed the 19th spot in the 2022 list.
The top three positive movers in 2022 were Bunker House Petroleum Pte Ltd (+7), Eastpoint International Marketing Pte Ltd (+5), and Eng Hua Company (Pte) Ltd (+6).
Glencore Singapore dropped by seven places from the 6th to 13th; its bunker licence was temporarily suspended for two months after MPA found it supplied contaminated high-sulphur fuel oil to vessels at the port during the first quarter of 2022.
