Bunkering related oil spills are generally due to operational lapses and could be prevented if all the necessary precautions are taken.
MPA would also like to draw the attention of ship masters and bunker craft operators to Regulation 7 of the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea Act which states the following:
Prohibition of discharge of oil and oily mixtures from ships 7(1)
If any discharge of oil or oily mixture occurs from a Singapore ship into any part of the sea or from any ship into Singapore waters, the master, the owner and the agent of the ship shall each be guilty of an offence and shall each be liable on conviction to a fine of not less than $1,000 and not more than $1 million or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years or to both.
To report any incidents related to bunkering operation including bunker oil pollution, please contact the Marine Safety Control Centre (Tel: 6325-2488/2489, VHF Ch 07).
