The International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) organization on Friday (5 December) awarded Yingkou Port the ISCC EU certification for green methanol storage, learned Singapore bunkering publication Manifold Times.
Yingkou Port, the fourth branch of Liaoning Port Group Holdings (Yingkou) Co Ltd, was established in December 2003 and is a state-owned port enterprise under the China Merchants Group’s Liaoning Port Group.
The firm specialises in the storage and handling of refined oil and liquid chemicals and plans to support the use of green methanol as a bunker fuel for the shipping industry, particularly in Northeast Asia, amongst others.
To meet its development needs and future customer demands, Yingkou Port has proactively laid out a green methanol corridor.
Currently, the port can provide up to 225,000 cubic meters (m3) of storage tanks for green methanol transshipment with tank sizes ranging from 2,500 to 10,000 m3 for green methanol producers or distributors.
“The issuance of this certificate lays the foundation for green methanol storage at Yingkou Port and provides an effective solution to the infrastructure issues for green methanol export in the three northeastern provinces,” said a spokesperson.
Shanghai Wenji Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was the consulting unit for this certification.
From August to October, the consultancy helped the port establish a comprehensive ISCC quality management system according to the certification system requirements, resulting in the port passing an on-site audit by international certification body SGS on 8 November.
The certificate was issued in less than a month.
