Oiltanking Daya Bay and Daya Bay Government in Huizhou have entered into a strategic alliance framework agreement to advance the development of the world-class Daya Bay Petrochemical Industrial Park. The agreement lays the foundation for a modern logistics and warehousing cooperation that deepens the collaboration between the Daya Bay Government, Huizhou Municipal Government and Oiltanking Group.

The Strategic Alliance Agreement between Oiltanking and Daya Bay Government presents another milestone in the successful development of the Daya Bay Petrochemical Industrial Park.
