Industry Summits

 

The emergence of China’s marine fuels industry is noteworthy; with a large number of oil refining facilities and ports, it is now attracting more ships to refuel. China’s Zhoushan is a major bunkering hub in Zhejiang province, and the port of Ningbo-Zhoushan ranks among the busiest container ports in the world. Local governments are radically improving efficiency through various schemes including nationwide rebate on VAT for domestically produced fuel oil, reducing port fees, investing in infrastructure, and making the port attractive to help achieve Zhoushan’s bunkering prospects.
