Core Viewpoint - The successful operation of the world's largest ethane transport vessel "Miao" at the Dasha Port area of Ningbo-Zhoushan Port marks a significant advancement in China's ethane transportation capabilities and enhances the supply chain for chemical raw materials in East China [1][2]. Group 1: Vessel Specifications and Operations - The "Miao" vessel has a capacity of 99,000 cubic meters, a total length of 230 meters, a width of 36.6 meters, and a depth of 22.5 meters, making it suitable for transporting various liquefied industrial and energy gases such as ethane and ethylene [2]. - To ensure efficient and safe operations of the "Miao," the Ningbo Border Inspection Station implemented a tailored inspection plan for the vessel and adopted measures like "direct unloading upon arrival" and digital verification to reduce waiting times at the port [2]. Group 2: Port Infrastructure and Future Plans - Dasha Port area serves as a crucial hub for liquefied products in the Yangtze River Delta, currently equipped with 11 chemical berths and designed to handle over 35 million tons annually [2]. - The port has been continuously upgrading its infrastructure and improving the unloading support system for liquefied hydrocarbons, providing solid support for the stable development of the regional energy and chemical industry [2]. - Future plans for the port include enhancing its capabilities, improving port service functions, and optimizing customs and operational processes to support the transportation needs of key materials in energy and chemicals, thereby contributing to a safe, smooth, and efficient domestic and international logistics channel [2].
