Dalian is expected to begin operation of a 300,000-DWT crude jetty in Changxing Island in the end of 2011, according to source with Dalian port.


The crude jetty, co-invested by Dalian Port Group and Dalian Changxing Island Harbor Industrial Zone, came under construction on Mar 16, 2010, the source said. It will become Liaoning Province's fourth 300,000-DWT crude jetty, capable of berthing the world's largest vessels-450,000-DWT ones.


Dalian Port Group and Dalian Changxing Island Harbor Industrial Zone plan to build four more 300,000-DWT crude jetties in Changxing Island in the future, with the total design capacity at 200-mil mt per year, the source added.
