Cumulative emergency unloading of energy and materials along the Ningbo coast has exceeded 1.36 million tons.

Typhoon "White Dolphin" is approaching step by step. The coastal area of Ningbo has initiated a Level III typhoon emergency response starting from 8:00 PM on August 5, entering a critical window for the unloading of energy materials.

On the morning of August 6, at Asia's largest 450,000-ton crude oil unloading terminal—Ningbo Shihua Crude Oil Terminal, the ultra-large oil tanker "Maran Canopus" is working at full capacity, planning to unload approximately 293,900 tons of crude oil before heading to safe waters outside the port to avoid the typhoon.

Meanwhile, at the Zhejiang Guohua Ninghai Power Plant terminal, the supply of coal for power generation is also a race against time. The vessel "Shenhua 505," loaded with coal, is expediting its unloading process, planning to deliver all 44,257 tons of coal into the power plant's storage silos to ensure sufficient "rations" for the power plant during the typhoon's passage.

To seize the operational window before the typhoon's impact, the maritime department intervened in advance, proactively coordinating with terminals to assess ship schedules and formulating a "one ship, one plan" guarantee scheme for key energy vessels. They optimized operations such as piloting and berthing. At the terminal, law enforcement officers boarded vessels to provide safety reminders, urging ship operators to implement typhoon prevention measures. Utilizing tools such as drone patrols and disaster weather risk prevention scenarios, they strengthened dynamic monitoring and risk warnings at the operation site, ensuring the efficient progress of crude oil unloading under safe conditions. "By applying the 'disaster weather risk prevention' scenario, we closely monitor the dynamics of incoming energy vessels, accurately assess wind, waves, tides, and navigational conditions, and establish a 'green channel' for energy material transportation, achieving 'zero supply interruption and zero delays,'" explained Huang Linlin, Deputy Director of the Ningbo Maritime Safety Administration's Vessel Traffic Management Center, to reporters.

Since the coastal area of Ningbo entered a Level IV typhoon emergency response, the Ningbo maritime department has seized the operational window and initiated the unloading of energy materials. According to statistics, as of 8:00 PM on August 5, a total of 285,000 tons of crude oil, 531,000 tons of coal, and 356,000 tons of iron ore have been unloaded, providing solid energy support for regional economic development and livelihood needs.
