Core Viewpoint - The implementation of the "dual-function warehouse" reform in Guangzhou significantly enhances the efficiency of fuel supply for international shipping vessels by allowing fuel oil storage tanks to serve as both export supervision warehouses and bonded warehouses, streamlining the supply process [1][2]. Group 1: Reform Implementation - Approximately 2000 tons of domestic fuel oil were supplied to international vessels from a specialized storage tank in Guangzhou, marking the successful implementation of the "dual-function warehouse" reform [1]. - The reform allows for a more efficient process where fuel oil can transition from export supervision to bonded status without the need for physical transfer, thus simplifying operations for companies [1][2]. Group 2: Efficiency and Cost Savings - Previously, the process of transferring fuel oil from export supervision warehouses to bonded warehouses took about 2 to 3 days, which could be longer during busy periods; the new model eliminates this transfer step, greatly improving efficiency [2]. - For example, Guangzhou Hongda Storage Co. estimates that with the new system, it can save approximately 900,000 yuan in costs based on an expected flow of 480,000 tons of fuel oil in 2024 [2]. Group 3: Industry Impact - The "dual-function warehouse" reform is seen as a significant benefit for fuel supply companies, as it reduces physical losses from the transfer process and simplifies operational workflows from "two in, two out" to "one in, one out" [2]. - The Guangzhou Customs is committed to continuing to release policy benefits such as mixed blending of high and low sulfur bonded fuel oil and cross-border direct supply, aiming to attract more fuel supply companies and enhance the logistics hub capabilities of Nansha [2].
