China’s Crude & Chemical Storage Outlook
Crude Tank Storage
With crude import quota of 121 mln tons granted to independent refineries by the end of April by Ministry of Commerce, crude terminals near those independent refineries will see a profitable year ahead. Unfortunately, crude tanks elsewhere (like on Zhoushan Island and Hainan Island with most concentration of commercial crude tanks) are not likely to see much improvement. Taking out SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve), commercial occupancy is below 20% at these islands. By 2020, about 100 mln tons refining capacity by independent refineries will be on stream. Hopefully, the fortune for commercial crude terminals by then will turn.
Chemical Tank Storage
With closure of polluting chemical plants, prices for chemicals have seen a significant increase in the first 4 months of this year in China. This development pushed up occupancy rate for chemical tanks across the board in China. Average occupancy rate is said to be above 70% by the end of April. However, storage rate has not seen much increase. Closure of chemical plants also increased intra-regional imbalance of supply and demand. It is said that chemical tanks will see good demand due to this imbalance in the next 2-3 years.
