He says even his boss approves of it. He gets to go to Hong Kong and Amsterdam to work as well......at first it strikes me maybe he was drug dealing or doing something illegal but it seems everythings legit.
Singapore is the number 1 oil bunkering port.......me ignorant and went into wrong industry

Yes...now you are in the know it seems.
My nephew just bought a M5.....full cash! because his declared income cannot take loan
If this is true, you are an idiot to reveal this in a forum that is reguilarly monitored.

The trick of the trade is "under-declared" the input which is risky but possible if his nephew wan to hve a bungalow at Nassim hill or Camden park! Gd luck then...i know of a guy working as assistant ops executive for a bunker oil firm.

He explained that due to the size of the tankers, the amount is +/- 5%....totally acceptable and above board. Even the captains and shipowners all aware.

Not sure what the situation now.
for years the bunker industry is known for all sorts of hanky panky/corruption.
yes the undeclared incomes are many times more than the declared incomes.
There was some big operations conducted by CPIB to clean up the industry and quite a few people were hauled to courts.

im in shipping. bunkering industry is the last pot of gold in sg. property and shares gone liao. actually bunkering not only in sg, in other country also making a lot of money. marine fuel oil is difficult to measure the volume. due to a few things, structure of the tanks, temperature and tilt of the tanker. all this can contribute to variation of volume of the fuel. so like what some of you said -/+ 5% is ok due to the market practice. but if its bunkering a big ship with around 2000 metric tonnes and 5 % is 50 metric tonnes. one metric ton now is around 300 to 400 USD if im not wrong. so go figure out how much the bunkering company can make if they manage to save 5% from the total volume of the bunkering operation?
CPIB and MPA are handicapped in this issue. why? MPA dare not set a guide line on how many percent are allow and MPA bukering section very small and under manpower plus staff are under qualify to check on those bunker barges. CPIB totally not familiar with this trade and dont know what to do with it. CPIB can only break those people down and confess, but they know nothing about the trade. they dont know where to check, when to check and what to check! lol! even MPA and CPIB staff reading this also cannot do anything! lol! even they put up reports now!
shipping including bunkering only get people they know, so its kind of difficult to join them. making 30k as a bunker clerk per month i believe.
