In international trade and cargo transportation, the transportation of vegetable oils and fats generally uses oil tanks. Since it is not possible for the shipping company's tanks to be used only for vegetable grease, the ship will clean the inside of the tanks before carrying the vegetable grease of this voyage. However, this kind of cleaning cannot be done thoroughly, and substances from the previous voyage may remain in places that are not easy to clean, such as pipelines or cabin cracks, especially for palm stearin with high melting point, simple cabin cleaning treatment is not enough to eliminate the problem of pollution residues of benzene and some chemical products in the first three voyages.
Recently, some international trade contracts for vegetable oils and fats have quietly added a new contract clause: if the inspection and quarantine agency requires the first three voyages to load goods, the buyer will bear a price increase of US $30 per ton of palm oil. Obviously, the implementation of the new regulations on the transportation of imported bulk edible vegetable oil has tightened the transportation conditions of edible vegetable oil, raised the transportation access threshold, and indirectly increased the transportation cost. If the unit price of palm oil is 1200 US dollars per ton, the price increase is 2.3 per cent, which is not a small amount. However, compared with the life, health and safety of consumers, and compared with the losses caused by the return of the whole ship to the trading party, such costs are worth it.
As the world's largest consumer of vegetable oils and fats, China's imports of vegetable oils and fats have maintained a momentum of growth. According to customs statistics from January to July 2012, domestic rapeseed oil imports increased by 109 per cent year-on-year. In the fourth quarter of the traditional consumption season, the import of vegetable oil is bound to usher in a new peak. Therefore, the timely introduction of new regulations on the transportation of imported bulk edible vegetable oil has protected the health and safety of domestic consumers and safeguarded the interests of importers.
