MPA cancels bunker licences of Northwest Resources

One of its Directors has been convicted for corruption-related offences.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has cancelled the bunker supplier and bunker craft operator licences of Northwest Resources Pte Ltd with effect from 1 September 2014.

MPA’s investigations on Northwest Resources Pte Ltd disclosed breaches by Northwest Resources Pte Ltd of the terms and conditions of their bunker supplier and bunker craft operator licences. MPA has therefore decided to cancel both their licences.

MPA’s cancellation of Northwest Resources Pte Ltd’s bunker licences follows the conviction of one of the company’s Directors for bunkering-related corruption offences.

Leong Kok Kheong, a Director of Northwest Resources Pte Ltd, was charged with 50 counts of bunkering-related offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

With the cancellation of both their bunker licences, Northwest Resources Pte Ltd will no longer be allowed to operate as bunker supplier and bunker craft operator in the Port of Singapore.
