[SMM Aluminum Express] On January 25, the cargo ship "ZHONG CHANG 508," loaded with 50,000 mt of high-quality petroleum coke produced by Oman Oil Company's Duqm plant, departed from Duqm Port in Oman. It traversed the Indian Ocean and crossed the South China Sea, arriving successfully at Rizhao Port in Shandong on February 21 after nearly a month-long voyage. This shipment of petroleum coke represents the materialization of the company's earlier field trips to the Middle East market and precise alignment with overseas resources. Unlike previous operations, this business marked the first time the company independently managed the entire import process, enhancing resource acquisition efficiency and supply chain stability.
