Smoke was observed on the forward part of the tanker, which had arrived from Indonesia on Tuesday.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force marine and land-based firefighting forces, MPA patrol craft, and JPTT’s emergency response unit responded were immediately deployed.
“The fire was extinguished at about 09h25 hours, and the tanker’s crew are all safe and accounted for. There is no damage to the tanks and berths at JPTT,” the MPA said.
“As a precautionary measure, operations at the adjacent berths have stopped and a nearby vessel at the berth has been shifted to the anchorage.
“Port operations and vessel traffic in the vicinity are not affected.”
