A tanker chief officer has been jailed for two and a half years for stealing oil from a Shell refinery in Singapore.

CNA reported that Vietnamese national Dang Van Hanh, 38, was the first person to plead guilty in the "unprecedented" case of misappropriation, which involved two syndicates of Shell employees.

He received 5,600 tonnes - $2.6m worth - of gasoil stolen from Shell's Pulau Bukom on four occasions between 31 July, 2016, and 7 January, 2018.
