LNG Bunkering Booms in Ningbo Zhoushan
With the acceleration of the decarbonisation of global shipping industry and change in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) carbon emission reduction regulations, Ningbo-Zhoushan Port faces the challenge of low-carbon transformation of international shipping and continues to expand and improve the its position as a seaport for bunker fuel supply.
Since completing the first LNG bunkering business in Zhejiang Province at Meishan Port in June 2023, Ningbo Zhoushan Port has efficiently expanded its LNG bunkering services and has successively extended its business to the two core port areas of Chuanshan and Daxie.
The port also successfully obtained bunkering qualifications for Zhoushan anchorage and gradually built a bunkering network covering the core operating areas.
While continuously consolidating its LNG bunkering operations, Ningbo-Zhoushan Port is actively developing a variety of alternative fuel bunkering operations such as biofuels and green methanol.
At present, the port has successfully completed the country’s first biofuel bunkering operation of a container vessel at sea and has achieved full coverage of biofuel bunkering operations at the two container terminals of Chuanshan and Meishan.
