PetroChina to start internal bunker business in Dongying
PetroChina will start an internal-trade bunker business in Dongying, Shandong province, China, a port that is already home to four other bunker suppliers, in mid-February, C1 Energy reports.
"We plan to begin with Dongying city and expand our business to nearby ports such as Weifang," a source from PetroChina Dongying Sales Co. said.
"In addition to gasoil oil, we will also supply 180cst and 120cst fuel oil." PetroChina has also started internal-trade bunker business at the Weihai port in Shandong province.
The company, which is one of the major importers of fuel oil for the country, began selling low-sulfur bunkers at Yangshan port near Shanghai in the fall.
Dongying Port is in the midst of a major, multi-year expansion project, according to the state-run information site China Internet Information Center.
