The "Goddess of Rainbow" Break the Ice across Straits

The direct sail of the "Goddess of Rainbow" across the Strait saved 36 hours compared with previous deviation from Ishigaki-jima Island and significantly improved the operation efficiency of boats. In face of the severe global financial turmoil, the direct sailing of chemical products signifies the opening of a brand new channel for chemical enterprises to lower down logistic costs.

As a result, the chemical enterprises across the Strait have a more solid foundation to weather the storm, and businesses across the Strait can further improve efficiency, promote the mutual communication and study and accelerate the cooperation.

Sinochem International is the first liquid chemical transportation enterprise that acquired "Permit on Water Transportation across Taiwan Straits" issued by the Ministry of Communications in China. Currently, the 25 special chemical tankers owned by Hainan Sinochem Shipping Co., Ltd are qualified for direct shipment of chemicals across the Strait.

Sinochem International shouldered this responsibility because its fleet of special liquid chemical tanker meet with the highest standard in China and boast the largest scale with 30 odd IMO II/III bulk liquid chemical tankers with a carrying capacity from 3000 tons to 17000 tons. All these tankers satisfy international security standards and have the capacity for transporting high-risk liquid chemicals, acids, oil products and other special chemicals.

Sinochem International is the only ship owner capable of transporting epoxypropane, diisocyanate and other high-risk liquid chemicals in China.
