In EN590 trading, many fraudulent offers claim that diesel is already stored in Jurong tanks under FOB terms, ready for immediate buyer lifting. These offers often come with enticing terms like Dip & Pay, designed to appear legitimate — but the entire setup is usually fabricated.
Where Does Real EN590 Come From?
Genuine EN590 production and export comes from countries with refining capacity for ultra-low sulfur diesel:
- Russia
- Kazakhstan
- UAE
- India
- Malaysia or China (depending on grade)
Why Singapore Isn’t a Real Source
Despite being a key oil hub, Singapore does not produce EN590 for spot FOB trades.
- Refineries in Singapore focus on marine fuels, jet fuel, and naphtha.
- Any EN590 in Singapore is imported, not refined locally.
- Storage is managed by major players like Vopak, JTC, and JPUT, typically reserved for oil majors and licensed importers.
The Dangerous Illusion of “FOB Jurong”
Scammers will often say things like:
- “Cargo in Jurong tanks, ready for FOB”
- “We offer Dip & Pay”
- “Bring your vessel directly”
- “DTA or TTVIA available after ICPO”
These setups sound secure but follow a predictable scam sequence:
- Buyer is offered Dip & Pay with no upfront
- Suddenly, a “logistics” or “injection” fee appears
- Then comes “port clearance” or tank access charges
- Eventually, no product is ever lifted or inspected
❗ Even Dip & Pay offers are scams if tank allocation, POP, and refinery origin cannot be verified directly.
Common Red Flags
| Claim | Why It's Suspicious |
|---|---|
| "FOB Jurong – ready to lift" | Singapore doesn’t produce EN590 |
| "Dip & Pay – no upfront" | Usually followed by hidden fees |
| "We’ll issue DTA or TTVIA" | Only tank operators can issue valid access documents |
| "SGS available on request" | Often fake or recycled |
| "Bring your vessel" | Without POP and tank verification = scam |
Conclusion
FOB and Dip & Pay may sound safe — but without verified cargo origin, terminal contact, and refinery proof, it’s just another setup.
