Methanol port inventory remained basically stable this week, decreasing by 0.32 ten thousand tons.

As of March 4, 2026, China’s methanol port inventory totaled 1.4435 million tons, a decrease of 3,200 tons from the previous period. Among them, the East China region saw inventory accumulation, increasing by 24,200 tons; South China experienced inventory reduction, decreasing by 27,400 tons. This week, methanol port inventories remained basically stable, with overall performance showing accumulation in East China and depletion in South China. During the cycle, visible external ships accounted for 200,300 tons, and cargo pickup gradually recovered after the Spring Festival. Jiangsu had concentrated external ships arriving for unloading, leading to inventory accumulation due to increased supply; some ports in Zhejiang have not yet included external ships, and inventory is slightly reduced under urgent demand. This week, South China port inventories showed depletion. Guangdong saw a small amount of imports and domestic ships replenishing supplies, with downstream recovery driving mainstream storage areas to maintain steady pickup volumes, resulting in inventory reduction. Fujian experienced only a small amount of domestic ships arriving, with downstream urgent demand consumption, and inventory fluctuations were minimal. (Longzhong Information)
