This was the biggest green methanol stem bunkered by a single international vessel in the Zhejiang province, according to Ningbo Customs.

The bunkering was done under the supervision of Meishan Customs, a branch of Ningbo Customs, and was carried out by the methanol bunkering vessel Zhong Ran Lv Neng 85.

Bunker supplier China Marine Bunker (PetroChina) took delivery of the bunkering vessel in June. It is considered the main methanol bunker vessel at Ningbo-Zhoushan.
