Shipping Oil through the Mekong
Via China Logistics News:
In March this year China signed a landmark agreement with Laos, Myanmar and Thailand on refined oil shipping through the waterway. But the agreement only allowed a monthly shipping quota of 1,200 tons of oil for safety reasons.
Qiao Xinmin, chief of the provincial maritime affairs bureau said, however, the three Southeast Asian nations later agreed to raise the quota after China had set up an emergency response team to ensure oil shipping safety on the river, said on Thursday.
China will now ship around 70,000 tons of refined oil each year from Thailand by way of the Mekong.
