Powering Progress: Supporting the Future of U.S. Energy
In recent months, our team had the privilege of supporting a critical logistics operation that highlights both our capabilities and our commitment to the future of sustainable energy. We successfully assisted on the port call and loadout for two complex shipments of process modules from China that are destined for a major new chemical facility in the USA. The shipments, that were loaded on the MV Rolldock Sky and the MV Tian Yi, required months of meticulous planning and coordination that resulted in a safe and timely movement of over 150 individual packages
The modules form the core infrastructure for a brand-new, USD 500 million chemical plant being developed. Once operational, the facility will play a pivotal role in the global shift toward sustainable battery materials.
Scheduled for completion in July 2026, the plant will specialize in the production of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) key components in the electrolyte solvents used in lithium-ion batteries. These are essential for powering electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid cars, and a wide range of electronics.
Notably, the plant will have the capacity to produce 100,000 tons of DMC per year and 40,000 tons of EMC, derived from DMC. In addition to its role in energy storage, DMC also supports semiconductor manufacturing, underscoring the facility’s importance across multiple high-tech industries.
Local leaders have welcomed the project as a major boost to the state’s economy and long-term sustainability goals. With job creation, infrastructure development, and a focus on clean energy, this investment is expected to deliver lasting benefits to the region.
We are proud to have played a role in this landmark development, leveraging our expertise to support a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable future.
