The Hainan Provincial Department of Commerce, Hainan Maritime Safety Administration and Hainan Provincial Department of Transportation jointly issued the “Hainan Free Trade Port Ship Bonded Oil Industry Development Plan (2021-2022)”.
The industry plan makes way for four approved bonded bunkering firms operating from Yangpu Economic Development Zone in 2022, increasing Hainan’s yearly bunkering volume to a forecasted 350,000 mt.
Further, the plan initiates the first steps in forming a regional bonded bunkering base at Yangpu in 2022.
