Shenghong Refining & Chemical has begun construction of the port storage and wharf project at the liquid bulk berth, north to the No 6 harbor basin in Xuwei port area of Lianyungang port. The port coastline is 1 670 meters long and has a total investment of RMB2.68 billion. The project will include a 300 kt crude oil berth with a designed annual handling capacity of 17.4 million tons and four 50 kt liquid bulk berths. The hydraulic structure will be built to berth 100 kt oil tankers, with a designed annual handling capacity of 9.30 million tons.

As a key crude oil and chemicals transportation channel for the 16 million-ton refining & chemical and Lianyungang Petrochemical Industry Base, the wharf project will be completed and put into use in 2021. By then, the production equipment of the Shenghong Refining & Chemical integration project and other projects in Lingang Petrochemical Industrial Park can be seamlessly connected with dock and tank areas through the pipe gallery, the collection and transportation conditions are convenient, and the logistics costs will be sharply reduced. It will play an active role in enhancing the international competitiveness of the project and industry linkage of Lianyungang Petrochemical Industry Base.
