Bunker supplier NuStar Energy Services, Inc. (NuStar) on Thursday (25 April) initiated a third-party complaint against bunker fuel manufacturer and blender Glencore Ltd., according to court documents obtained by Manifold Times.

The development is related to Nustar’s current legal proceedings with Singapore-based dry cargo company Centurion Bulk Pte Ltd over the supply of suspected contaminated marine fuel to the 55,768 dwt bulk carrier San Antonio (IMO: 9514066) at Greensport on 15 March 2018.

Documents indicated Nustar purchasing the marine fuel from Glencore.

“Under Texas law, Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Chapter 82, an innocent retailer or seller is entitled to indemnity from the manufacturer on a defective product or negligent manufacturer claim,” it states.

“To the extent the bunker fuel is found to be ‘defective,’ NuStar as the innocent retailer or seller is entitled to statutory indemnity from Glencore for the claims of Plaintiff Centurion.

“NuStar did not alter or modify the bunker fuel manufactured and sold by Glencore, thus Glencore shall indemnify NuStar against any and all losses arising out of Plaintiff Centurion’s Complaint and this litigation.”

Malaysia: MMEA detains tugboat with undocumented 10,000 litres of diesel in Kuala Langat

The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) on Friday (10 July) said it detained a tugboat  during an enforcement operation in Selangor waters. 

Selangor MMEA director Captain Abdul Muhaimin Muhammad Salleh said the vessel was detained at about 6.35am at about 4.7 nautical miles 0.1 nautical miles from the estuary of Sungai Langat, Kuala Langat. 

He said the initial inspection found that the vessel in question was operated by a 44-year-old skipper along with a 23-year-old crew member, both Indonesian nationals. 

Further inspection found that the vessel did not have a mandatory insurance coverage, including the Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims (LLMC).

“Inspection also found 10,000 litres of diesel and MYR 5,000 in cash on the vessel,” he said. 

“The skipper also failed to present any document or permit authorising the transport of the diesel fuel, raising suspicions regarding the ownership of the controlled items.”

The tugboat and both crew members were brought to the Pulau Indah Marine Police Force jetty before they were handed over to the Selangor MMEA for further action. 

He added that the case is being investigated under the Immigration Act 1959/63, the Control of Supplies Act 1961, and the Merchant Shipping Ordinance (MSO) 1952.
