Recently, with the strong support and close cooperation of the Hong Kong and Macao shipping and maritime departments, Jiujiang City Transportation and Development Group's Hukou Port LNG bunkering station successfully completed the LNG fuel bunkering operation for the Hangyuan 1001 vessel, marking the official operation of the bunkering station. CIMC Enric's Jingmen Hongtu, as a key equipment supplier in this bunkering process, has made significant contributions to the green transformation of the Yangtze River shipping industry with its excellent products and advanced technology. 
With the increasing global emphasis on environmental protection, the shipping industry, as an important transportation sector, is also actively seeking cleaner and more efficient energy solutions. LNG, as a clean energy source, has the advantages of high combustion efficiency and low emissions, gradually becoming an important choice for the green transformation of the shipping industry. Against this backdrop, the construction of the Hukou Port LNG bunkering station came into being. 
For many years, Jingmen Hongtu has been committed to the research, development, production, and service of energy storage and transportation equipment, establishing a good reputation in the industry. The company has a high-quality team of technical researchers and continuously invests a large amount of resources in technological innovation to meet the market demand for high-performance and high-reliability energy equipment. Its products cover various LNG storage tanks and bunkering systems, widely used in water transportation, industrial production, and other fields. 
The Hukou Port LNG bunkering station is one of the 45 LNG bunkering terminals planned along the Yangtze River main line and also the first LNG bunkering terminal in Jiangxi Province. The bunkering station adopts an integrated construction method combining LNG bunkering stations and water refueling stations, with a designed annual throughput of 19,100 tons, including 11,000 tons of LNG and 8,100 tons of diesel. In this bunkering operation, the LNG barge bunkering system and the fuel tanks of the LNG fuel vessel were all provided by Jingmen Hongtu. To ensure smooth and safe bunkering, the Jingmen Hongtu service team and the owner conducted sufficient preparation and rigorous operation, successfully bunkering 7.9 tons of LNG gas to the Hangyuan 1001 vessel. The entire bunkering process was smooth and orderly, with close coordination between various links, fully demonstrating the reliability and timeliness of Jingmen Hongtu's ship tank products. 
The successful completion of this bunkering operation further verifies Jingmen Hongtu's ability to provide comprehensive solutions in the waterborne LNG application industry chain. In the future, Jingmen Hongtu will continue to be committed to the development of green shipping, providing clean energy solutions for the shipping industry, helping the shipping industry achieve low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and sustainable development goals, and practically implementing the development concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets".
