The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri) has transported the first chemical shipment from Aramco Trading Company (ATC) via Bahri chemical tanker NCC Amal, a 45,000 DWT chemical tanker, which left Port of Rabigh heading to China.

 

The shipment, which contains 25,000 metric tons of paraxylene (PX) and 20,000 metric tons of monoethylene glycol (MEG), marks the completion of Phase II of the Petro Rabigh Company (PRC) project, Bahri said in a statement on Thursday.

 

NCC Amal will transport monoethylene glycol (MEG) in addition to the first paraxylene (PX) cargo, which will be sold during its turnaround to the world’s largest PX consumers through S-OIL, a leading company in the lubricant market, established in 1976 and is 63.4 percent owned by Saudi Aramco.

 

“Bahri enjoys a long-standing relationship with Aramco, Aramco Trading Co. and Petro Rabigh,” said Bahri’s CEO Abdullah Aldubaikhi.

 

ATC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saudi Aramco that trades in refined, liquid chemical and polymer products.
