SINGAPORE : Ports in China's Shandong province are demanding more detailed information about oil tankers that are more than 15 years old that call at their terminals, sources with knowledge of the matter said, potentially delaying the unloading of crude shipments in the world's biggest oil importer.
The Shandong Maritime Safety Administration told Reuters that it had not set any special inspection requirements for tankers beyond current regulations and international conventions.Port authorities could detain ships for days to rectify any issues, prompting shippers to divert cargoes to other Chinese ports, the sources said.
The 20-year-old Titan is a Cameroon-flagged very-large crude carrier capable of carrying up to 2 million barrels of oil managed by Seychelles-based Seapalm Shipping Ltd, according to data from Refinitiv Eikon. Seapalm could not be reached for comment.
