China-Korea Petrochemical completes Wuhan 10,000-ton intelligent floating terminal

Key highlights
  • China-Korea Petrochemical commissioned No.6 and No.7 berths in Wuhan, providing 5,000-ton and 10,000-ton floating petrochemical terminals.
  • Berths integrate loading/unloading, environmental monitoring and emergency-response capabilities.
  • Platform uses IoT and real-time monitoring for digital control of safety hazards, environmental indicators and operational progress.
  • Construction used a zonal-operations, staggered-construction model to separate production areas and concentrate work in non-flood seasons, boosting logistics efficiency and safety for petrochemical shipments on the middle/lower Yangtze.

Completion and scope

The No.6 and No.7 berths of China-Korea Petrochemical in Wuhan were completed, delivering the region's first 10,000‑ton intelligent floating petrochemical terminal with 5,000‑ton and 10,000‑ton class berths for loading and unloading operations.

Smart operations and monitoring

The facility implements a "smart port" concept using IoT and real‑time monitoring platforms to digitally control safety hazards, environmental indicators and operation progress, and includes integrated environmental monitoring and emergency‑response capabilities.

Construction strategy and operational impact

To address high water levels during flood season, the project used a zonal‑operations, staggered‑construction model that strictly separates construction and production areas and concentrates work in non‑flood periods; the new berths are expected to improve logistics efficiency and strengthen safety and environmental control for petrochemical shipments on the middle and lower Yangtze.
