The Qingdao branch of China Marine Bunker (Petro China) Co., Ltd., also known as Chimbusco, has recently completed a successful bunkering operation for the world’s first 100,000 dwt smart fishery large-scale aquaculture vessel Guoxin No.1.
The vessel is the world’s first fully enclosed cruising large-scale aquaculture vessel with a closed 80,000 m3 aquaculture cabin.
It is capable of breeding popular fish species on a platform in the deep sea and is expected to be officially put into production in late May 2022.
Leaders of Chimbusco Qingdao and Qingdao Guoxin Group met on numerous occasions to plan the bunkering operation. In addition, on-site inspections and a detailed marine refuelling plan was formulated to ensure that the operation was fool proof.
This led to Chimbusco overcoming adverse weather while dispatching bunker tankers Qingyou 9 and Tongyu 11 to supply 150 tonnes of marine diesel bunker fuel and 300 tonnes of 180 cSt fuel oil to Guoxin No. 1.
