Chin Chia-Hong, chairman of Yi-Chiu Chemical & Technical and CPI, and Hong
Nien Lin, chairman of Taiwan Fuel Corporation attended the evening party. Chin
Chia-Hong said that the more than 30 years of operation has enabled Yi-Chiu
Chemical & Technical to grow into a diversified oil product company with onshore
and offshore advantages. He hopes that the group will strengthen cooperation with
Japan, Singapore and South Korea with the global market in mind to make the Group
stronger and sustain its business.
Chin Chia-Hong emphasized in the interview that he was thankful to Communications
Port Authority, Ministry of Transportation and Building Council for their support of
the achievement of the program. CPI is established to facilitate the free trade port
policy of the government and build Taiwan into the most important oil product
transshipment center in east Asia. It is estimated to bring 3 million turnover volume
per year for Taichung Port and generate an annual revenue up to more than NTD 30
billion. Yi-Chiu hopes to transform Taichung Port into a transshipment station of the
free trade port zone and initiate the new epoch of marine bunkering services in east
Asia.
CPI Taichung Storage Center is scheduled to commence operations in the Taichung
Port Free Trade Zone in November. Following the release of the news on a
professional Singaporean mass media yesterday and the celebration of the 30th
anniversary in Tokyo today, Yi-Chiu will hold a grand press conference to release the
news officially at the end of year in Taiwan.
