洋浦港外锚地累计为过境船舶加注1.6万吨保税油

Core Viewpoint - Yangpu Port is emerging as a preferred refueling station for international transit vessels, having supplied a total of 16,000 tons of bonded fuel oil to passing ships since the implementation of the bonded fuel oil refueling facilitation policy in January this year [2][3]. Group 1: Fuel Supply and Cost Savings - The recent refueling of the Liberia-flagged vessel "Mag Tough" at Yangpu Port involved the supply of 900 tons of low-sulfur bonded fuel oil, resulting in a cost saving of approximately $130,000 compared to refueling in Southeast Asia [2]. - Since the policy's implementation, 35 vessels have refueled at Yangpu Port, leading to total savings of nearly $2 million in fuel and related costs for shipowners [2]. Group 2: Operational Efficiency - The outer anchorage of Yangpu, covering 38 square kilometers, can accommodate vessels up to 200,000 tons, with a reduction of over 90% in required documentation and a more than 30% increase in refueling efficiency for individual ships [3]. - From January to November this year, the bonded fuel oil refueling business at Yangpu has serviced 661 vessels, totaling 306,500 tons [3]. Group 3: Strategic Development - The bonded fuel supply is a core function in building an international shipping center, as it allows for the exemption of tariffs, VAT, and consumption tax, reducing fuel costs by approximately 15% [2]. - Yangpu Port has opened 65 domestic and international trade routes, and the policy benefits are expected to attract more international vessels to choose Yangpu as a refueling point after the closure of the customs [3].
