Ningbo-Zhoushan, China
The world's largest port by tonnage. We arrange bonded storage, bunker supply and crude freight at Zhoushan in the Zhejiang Pilot Free Trade Zone.
Ningbo-Zhoushan handled more than 1.4 billion tonnes of cargo in 2025, more than any other port. Its Zhoushan islands host bonded oil storage, refining on Yushan island and the bunkering business that made Zhoushan the world's third-largest bunker port in 2025.
Bonded storage and bunkering run inside the China (Zhejiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone. We arrange bonded tankage, bunker supply through licensed suppliers, crude freight and independent inspection.
