Weifang Sime Darby Liquid Terminal is designed to meet the highest safety requirements for bulk oil and chemicals storage and distribution. The storage and terminal facilities at Weifang Port are being developed in phases. Phase one with a maximum storage capacity of 406,000 cubic metres is already operational, while phase two with a maximum storage capacity of 91,000 cubic metres will be ready and operational in October this year. The final phase with a capacity of 164,000 cubic metres is currently under construction, and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2019.

Mr Timothy Lee Chi Tim said: “We are very excited about the opportunities and prospects of our new liquid terminal. The terminal is part of our RMB2.8 billion master expansion plan, which will put Weifang Sime Darby Port on the roadmap to achieving our aim of becoming a significant multi-purpose port in the Northeast Asian region. The launch of our liquid terminals is timely to capture the growing market for crude and refined oil, as well as chemicals in China. These commodities have benefitted from the gradual liberalisation of import and export policies in China.”
