Frequently Asked Questions
Why bunker at Taicang vs Shanghai?
For vessels staying in the Yangtze River system, Taicang avoids the longer Shanghai approach. For ocean-bound vessels, Shanghai's Yangshan or Wusongkou are usually more convenient.
Are river-going vessels different?
Yes — inland river vessels have different bunker requirements (smaller stems, distillate-heavy). Taicang serves both river and short-sea coastal tonnage.
