Shenzhen Port reportedly extended Shenzhen Port’s LNG bunkering service from only one location in the eastern port area to the western side, achieving full coverage of LNG bunkering services in both regions following a bunkering operation on 9 August.
China Merchants Port Group’s Shenzhen West Port Area successfully conducted its first LNG bunkering trial.
The operation involved Shenzhen PetroChina International LNG Refuelling Co Ltd’s bunkering vessel XIN AO PU TUO HAO supplying 6,700 cubic metres (m3) of LNG marine fuel CMA CGM Integrity in the western port area.
It was reported that Shenzhen Port’s LNG bunkering service was previously limited to a single location in the Eastern Port Area.
LNG vessels calling at the Western Port Area were unable to refuel during their port operations and would have to refuel at anchorages or other ports outside the port. This significantly reduced shipping efficiency for liner companies and impacted the overall competitiveness of Shenzhen Port.
