Recently, the ship "Formosa Plastics No. 13" fully loaded with hydrocarbon-based biodiesel was shipped to Amsterdam, the Netherlands after it was loaded at berth 1# of Rizhao Oil Company in Shandong Port. This is the first domestic order to use "hydrocarbon-based biodiesel" as the name of the product to handle the export of clean energy since the implementation of domestic hydrocarbon-based biodiesel-related industry standards in 2023.
Under the global background of low-carbon emission reduction, biodiesel is becoming the "new darling" of the domestic fuel industry due to its energy-saving, consumption-reducing, renewable and many other high-quality features. Hydrocarbon-based biodiesel is more similar in structure to petrochemical diesel, and can be added to petrochemical diesel in a larger proportion to reduce carbon emissions by more than 80%. Rizhao Port aims at the prospects of the hydrocarbon-based biodiesel market, seizes opportunities, plans in advance, quickly establishes business development ideas, gives full play to the advantages of the port, and actively serves clean energy customers for shipping business, successfully realizing the new source of "hydrocarbon-based biodiesel" and taking root.
In order to ensure the quality of hydrocarbon-based biodiesel shipments, Rizhao Port has researched and formulated a one-stop shipping plan, coordinating the operation status of terminals, ships, and reservoir areas, and integrating the loading process, valves, and instrument data on one map. Realize one-picture explanation, saving time for customers; during the operation, the operator keeps an eye on the tide situation, adjusts the operation hose in real time, and monitors the pressure of the pipeline in the whole process, "human defense + technical defense", so that on-site control is foolproof, Peace of mind for customers; at the end of the operation, the joint warehouse area will implement "line sweeping" measures in advance to ensure the quality of shipment as much as possible and save effort for customers. The one-stop service solution has improved the shipping efficiency by more than 30%, ensuring the efficient completion of the "Formosa Plastics No. 13" ship, which is fully loaded with hydrocarbon-based biodiesel and sailed to Europe.
