State Pipeline Network Group said on Aug. 13 the Lianyungang–Yizheng pipeline’s Lianyungang–Huaian segment entered service in one phase. The line, the first 10‑million‑ton‑class crude pipeline to start operating in the 15th Five‑Year Plan period, links to existing trunk lines to deliver crude to the eastern hub at Yizheng. Peak daily throughput is 70,000 tonnes; the pipeline will supply Jiangsu and Yangtze‑river refineries, widen supply channels, and support unified allocation of imported crude
