This is just a starting point; more participation from everyone will make things even more lively. Haichuan becomes even better with your involvement; we welcome everyone to join in the forum discussions. The fragrance of rice in August ----------------------------------------- On August 3rd, China carried out its first operation of refueling ultra-large oil tankers with liquefied natural gas in a harbor. China’s first and world’s largest liquefied natural gas transport and refueling vessel, the “Ocean Oil 301”, successfully provided bonded liquefied natural gas refueling services to the world’s largest dual-fuel ultra-large oil tanker in the Guangzhou Port area. This marks China’s entry into the forefront of the international ship liquefied natural gas refueling industry. It is predicted that by 2025, the global demand for liquefied natural gas refueling services will exceed 10 million tons, and by 2030 it will reach 30–45 million tons. “During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China will accelerate the construction of international ship liquefied natural gas refueling centers in cities such as Tianjin, Xiamen, and Hainan, further improve the inland liquefied natural gas refueling infrastructure, and promote the development of a regional ecosystem for the use of liquefied natural gas as ship fuel, thereby achieving both environmental and economic benefits.
On June 12, 2023, after 14 hours of work, the world’s largest LNG (liquefied natural gas) transport and loading ship, the \"CNOOC 301,\" completed the loading of duty-free LNG. On June 11, the ship berthed at the CNPC Ningbo “Green Energy Port” terminal in the Chuanshan Port area of the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port to begin loading operations. This terminal has become the first in Zhejiang to provide bonded LNG for LNG refueling ships, offering strong support for the development of the entire oil and gas industry chain in the Zhejiang Free Trade Zone. It is understood that the \"Ocean Oil 301\" was developed and built in China. With a length of 184.7 meters and a beam of 28.1 meters, it can carry up to 30,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas at a time; this time, it carried 11,000 cubic meters. Over the next two days, the \"Ocean Oil 301\" will carry out the first bonded LNG refueling operation for an international vessel at the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port.
On November 15, 2022, China’s first and the world’s largest LNG (liquefied natural gas) transport and refueling ship was completed and delivered in Nansha, Guangzhou. Converted from the \"Ocean Oil 301\", this ship has a total length of 184.7 meters and a beam of 28.1 meters. It is capable of carrying 30,000 cubic meters of LNG. It represents China’s first LNG carrier that was designed, built, managed, and operated independently by the country. It began operating in September 2015, primarily serving as a vessel for transporting LNG between LNG receiving stations along China’s coast, while also undertaking short-distance LNG transport operations on an international scale. After the renovation, the \"Ocean Oil 301\" will become an LNG transport and refueling ship capable of carrying LNG as well as providing LNG refueling services; it will be able to offer ship-to-ship fuel refueling for large LNG-powered vessels that anchor at domestic coastal ports. To date, there are over 30 LNG refueling ships worldwide; upon its delivery, the \"Offshore Oil 301\" will be China’s first LNG refueling ship.
