China's Sinopec completes its first LNG bunkering operation
9/13/2021
China's Sinopec Corp announced it has completed its first LNG bunkering operation in Weihai, a major seaport in the eastern Shandong province.
The bunkering, or marine refuelling, operation transferred 250 tonnes of LNG by truck to a China Merchant Shipping vessel.
Sinopec is China's largest supplier of marine fuels.
The use of LNG as a marine fuel has been gaining traction amid a global push to reduce the shipping industry's carbon emissions. (Reporting by Roslan Khasawneh, Editing by Louise Heavens)
