A Panama-registered oil tanker has been identified by industry sources as having loaded the contaminated marine fuel in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that was later sold to 200 ships refuelling in Singapore, an incident that has since come under the scrutiny of the authorities here.
The tanker had loaded the contaminated fuel at UAE's Port of Khor Fakkan via an offshore ship-to-ship operation some time between Dec 11 and 17 last year, industry sources told The Sunday Times.
