SINGAPORE: Two tankers carrying oil are unable to offload their cargoes at Port Dickson after a facility that carries crude from the ships to refineries broke down, four sources familiar with the matter said today. Hengyuan’s refinery has a capacity of 156,000 barrels per day (bpd), while Petron’s refinery has a crude distillation capacity of 88,000 bpd, according to their websites. The outage appears to have delayed two ships that were scheduled to unload at the port, shipping data on Refinitiv Eikon showed. But the tankers were still anchored off the port laden with crude as of Tuesday, the data showed. When contacted by Reuters, the Port Dickson Marine Department said the companies that have operations in Port Dickson run their own mooring operations and the department was not aware of any delay in shipments as they did not receive any complaints.
