en.Wedoany.com Reported - On the morning of June 17, the vessel "Yunxiang 68" successfully docked at Berth 14 of Dalian Port Liquid Storage Terminal Co., Ltd. (VTD) and commenced loading operations, marking the official shipment of the first batch of large-scale green methanol produced in Northeast China. This represents a key milestone in the construction of a green methanol transshipment and storage hub in Northeast Asia. It is reported that upon arrival at Shanghai Port, this batch will be fully utilized as marine fuel supply.
VTD is a terminal company under the Liaoning Port Group, specializing in liquid chemical storage and transshipment services, and is the only bulk liquid chemical storage terminal in the Dalian area offering comprehensive transportation modes. In 2024, the company obtained the ISCC EU international certification for port green methanol storage and simultaneously initiated upgrades to its terminals, storage tanks, and pipelines, laying a solid foundation in both hardware and software for large-scale green marine fuel storage and transportation operations.
In July 2025, VTD successfully completed the first bonded bunkering green methanol storage and loading operation in Northeast China, filling a regional industry gap and providing strong support for subsequent "ship-to-ship" green methanol bunkering operations. In September of the same year, the company signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Shanghai Port Energy for green methanol storage, and in November, it successfully completed the first storage and warehousing operation of trial-produced green methanol.
"During the operation of this batch of green methanol, we focused on key links such as 'truck collection at port, unloading into tanks, and pipeline loading onto ships,' comprehensively strengthening internal and external coordination and operational organization," said Liu Xiaobo, General Manager of VTD. On one hand, the company maintained real-time and efficient communication with Shanghai Port Energy, dynamically synchronizing information on trucks arriving at the port and vessels arriving at the terminal, and scientifically coordinating the deployment of on-site personnel and equipment. On the other hand, it conducted full-process operational monitoring of core facilities such as storage tanks and transfer pipelines, completing preparatory work such as pipeline purging and tank product inspection in advance, ensuring the safe, stable, efficient, and orderly execution of loading and unloading operations throughout.
Facing the accelerating trend of green and low-carbon transformation in the global shipping industry, the Liaoning Port Group will fully leverage its integrated operational advantages, focusing on the development goals of digital, green, and high-end ports. It will continuously enhance comprehensive port service capabilities, expand comprehensive port functions, and accelerate the construction of a Northeast Asian green marine fuel transshipment, storage, and bunkering center. This will open up the maritime logistics artery for "north-to-south methanol transport" and coordinated development between Shanghai and Dalian, contributing port strength to China's energy powerhouse construction and the green and low-carbon transformation of the shipping industry.
