China News Agency, Zhanjiang, May 8 (Liang Sheng Li Hai) On the 8th, the VLCC tanker from the Middle East safely docked at the 300,000-ton crude oil terminal of Zhongke Refinery Port, which was smoothly unloaded, marking the China Ke Refinery Port was fully constructed and put into operation.

  The Sinopec Refinery and Chemical Project, located on the East Island of Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, is the largest refining and chemical integration project under construction by Sinopec Corp., and is also a key construction project of the 13th Five-Year Plan of Guangdong Province. The total investment of the first phase of the project is more than 40 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), the construction of 10 million tons / year oil refining, 800,000 tons / year ethylene project and related auxiliary projects. The project is expected to be completed and put into operation at the end of July this year, with an annual output value of more than 60 billion yuan, driving the development of the downstream industrial chain of refining and chemical industry, and injecting new impetus into the economic construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

  It is understood that the straight-line distance between Sinopec's port and refining plant is only 1100 meters, and it is currently the largest petrochemical port in China with the largest scale, the most favorable conditions, the most structural form and the most used functions, with a total of 8 berths.

  After the Sinopec Refinery Port is completed and put into operation, it will form the world-leading production mode of the petrochemical industry "front port and back factory". Among them, the heavy-duty wharf berth that was first put into operation in September 2018 provided strong logistics support for the timely arrival of construction materials for the Sinochem Refinery Project, saving construction costs. The refined oil pipeline and 100,000-ton refined oil terminal berth completed during the same period of the project provided convenience for its refined oil and chemical products to reach the core market of China and export directly to the international market.
