  "account": "Malaysian maritime industry players have expressed concern over the potential impact of cargo duty on crude oil and foreign tankers, according to a recent report. R Jeyenderan, a maritime industry player, said he understands there are certain considerations in the implementation of the duty system, but he wants a clearer understanding of the basis for the difference in services. According to him, Malaysia's crude oil is currently subject to a 10% duty, while foreign tankers in certain conditions are given exemptions. In his opinion, granting exemptions to domestic tankers could help facilitate more processes in Malaysia. This concern was voiced during a discussion with the Ministry of Finance (MOF) on September 25 regarding the issue of duties and the movement of tankers. Jeyenderan said this move could encourage the development of VLSFO (Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil) processing and trade activities in the country, while also opening up more opportunities for local players. The local industry has the potential to grow further if the structure of the duty system and regulations related to tankers can be explained more clearly to all parties, he added. On August 13, Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook said his ministry would seek clarification from MOF regarding concerns over the duty service on mixed crude oil cargoes.",
