An application for the winding up of marine fuel testing and surveying firm CCIC Singapore Pte Ltd (CCIC Singapore) was filed by Hong Kong-registered CCIC International Holding Limited on 7 September, according to a Monday (14 September) notice on the Government Gazette.

It noted the winding up application is directed to be heard before the Judge sitting in the General Division of the High Court at 10am on 2 October.

Manifold Times previously reported US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned nearly two dozen firms operating in multiple jurisdictions, including CCIC Singapore.

OFAC alleged that Sepehr Energy “consistently relied” on CCIC Singapore to accomplish not only the necessary pre-delivery cargo inspections required before oil is transferred to China, but also to conceal the oil’s Iranian origins.

In late 2024, CCIC Singapore provided inspection services during a ship-to-ship transfer of approximately two million barrels of Iranian oil from the sanctioned vessel and Sepehr Energy-affiliated SIRI (IMO 9281683), formerly known as the ANTHEA. 

In June 2025, CNA reported that the company laid off hundreds of workers after it was hit with the sanctions. Later, the CCIC Singapore told CNA that the layoffs were due to the impact of the sanctions which was greater than expected, and that it has ceased operations in Singapore. 

According to the Government Gazette notice, any creditor or contributory of the company desiring to support or oppose the making of an order on the winding up application may appear at the time of hearing by himself or his counsel for that purpose.

A copy of the winding up application will be furnished to any creditor or contributory of the company requiring the copy of the winding up application by the solicitors of the applicant’s, Oon & Bazul LLC, on payment of the regulated charge for the same.

The Applicant’s address is 29/F, East Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught, Rd Central, Hong Kong, China.

The Applicant’s solicitors are TKQP Law LLP of 1 Wallich Street, #07-02 Guoco Tower, Singapore 078881.

Note: Any person who intends to appear at the hearing of the winding up application must send notice of such intention to the abovenamed TKQP Law LLP, the Claimant’s solicitors, within the time and in the manner set out in rule 70 of the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution (Corporate Insolvency and Restructuring) Rules 2020. The notice must be in Form CIR-15 and state the name and address of the person, or, if a firm, the name and address of the firm, and must be signed by the person, firm, or his or their solicitor (if any) and must be served and, if sent by post, must be posted in such time as in the ordinary course of post to reach the address of the Claimant’s abovenamed solicitors, at least 3 clear working days before 2 October 2026 (the day appointed for the hearing of the application).

The High Court of Singapore issued a winding up order to Hengli Petrochemical International Pte Ltd, the former Singapore trading arm of Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery, on 4 September, according to a Friday (11 September) notice on the Government Gazette.

The application was filed by Dalian Hengli New Energy Sales Co Ltd, a creditor of the company, on 14 August.

The winding up order also included the following names and address of liquidators:

Mr. Wong Joo Wan
Ms. Tina Phan Mei Ting
c/o M/s Rodgers Reidy Advisory Pte. Ltd.
1 Commonwealth Lane
#06-21 One Commonwealth,
Singapore 149544

All creditors of the abovenamed company should file their proof of debt with the liquidator who will be administering all affairs of the company.

In May, it was reported that Hengli Petrochemical International dismissed some employees, with some workers being laid off while others were offered positions in other entities. 

In April, China’s Hengli Group reportedly reorganised the shareholding structure of its Singapore-based trading arm shortly after the United States imposed sanctions on its refinery unit.
