As the world's largest port in terms of cargo throughput, Ningbo Zhoushan Port is promoting innovative breakthroughs in traditional fuel supply and green fuel, and is building an international preferred refueling center for clean energy for ships.

Next, Ningbo Customs will continue to promote the construction of smart customs and the "Smart Customs Strong Country" action, actively support the upgrading of new shipping service industries such as biofuel oil refueling, further enhance the attractiveness of the port to international shipping vessels, and help Ningbo Zhoushan Port accelerate the construction of an international ship clean energy preferred refueling center.
