MOSCOW (MRC) -- Sinopec’s Jinling refinery exported a cargo of 35,600 tonnes of gasoline from its Nanjing plant to Singapore on May 12, marking its first light distillate shipment to a foreign destination, reported Reuters with reference to the company's statement.
Sinopec is boosting exports of a range of refined fuel products to ease a build-up of domestic supplies, the company said via its official newspaper.
China raised fuel export quotas by 30% in its latest allocation as record refinery output exceeds domestic demand for fuel.
As MRC wrote before, in September 2018, China's Sinopec Corp joined a group planning to build an oil refinery in Alberta, an enterprise that would strengthen demand for the Canadian province's heavily discounted crude.
