The company underwent MPA’s checks earlier this year as part the ongoing efforts to ensure the integrity of bunkering in Singapore.

The authority’s investigations revealed that Pegasus had allowed an unlicensed craft operator to use its bunker craft to make bunker deliveries. Given the severity of the breaches, MPA has decided to revoke Pegasus’ bunker craft operator licence.

The port authority said that Pegasus will no longer be allowed to operate as a bunker craft operator in the Port of Singapore.
