China’s Port of Shenwan in Zhongshan performed its first LNG bunkering operation of its recently completed refuelling station, according to Zhongshan Development and Reform Bureau on Friday (17 March).
A ceremony was held at the port to commemorate the occasion where Wang Qiang, deputy director of the Municipal Development and Reform Bureau, attended the ceremony.
The LNG refuelling station at the port is the second of such stations to be set up in Zhongshan to develop green shipping in the city.
The station will serve ships sailing on the busy Xijiang waterway by providing LNG bunkering services.
At the event, CNOOC’s staff used LNG tank trucks to safely complete the LNG bunkering operation of a newly-built 1,000 metric tonne (mt) LNG-single powered ship.
“Our bureau will continue to support the development of clean energy such as LNG in Zhongshan, continue to promote and coordinate the project together with relevant partners, and promote the construction of LNG refuelling stations in Zhongshan to speed up the development of green shipping in the city,” the bureau said.
