Searches for China sulfur port inventory, sulphur port stocks China, or elemental sulfur warehouse Fangchenggang usually mean Shengyishe's monitored coastal cover, not Alberta block inventory or Vancouver terminal bin counts.

Shengyishe publishes an aggregate line for elemental sulfur held at named coastal discharge hubs on its 100ppi rawmex intelligence feed. Sulfur Wire rebuilds that series into china-benchmark-daily.json on each public pass so Pacific desks can pair domestic yuan benchmarks with physical cover without licensed weekly assessment grids.

As of 9 November 2026 the open wire totaled 1.1251 million tonnes monitored coastal elemental sulfur, up 18.9 thousand tonnes from the 5 November count of 1.1062 million tonnes. SunSirs on 11 November described that cover as nearly 50 percent below the same period last year, a lean-stocks read Pacific desks pair with the halved yuan benchmark on the sulfur price June peak to now topic. Fangchenggang held 420 thousand tonnes, Beihai 18 thousand tonnes, Zhanjiang 355 thousand tonnes, Zhenjiang 220 thousand tonnes, Nanjing 10 thousand tonnes, and Dafeng 79 thousand tonnes on the 10 November rawmex repost of the 9 November count.

Zhanjiang and Zhenjiang led the rebuild versus the 5 November wire, which had listed 340 thousand and 214 thousand tonnes respectively at those ports. Fangchenggang and Beihai were unchanged at 420 and 18 thousand tonnes across the two prints.

The same Shengyishe header that carries port counts also parks the national sulfur benchmark at 5,151.75 yuan per metric tonne on 10 November, flat day on day after the 9 November break. When yuan replacement falls while port cover ticks higher, traders often read mixed signals: lower domestic replacement cost against slightly thicker import-adjacent stocks.

Pacific export desks still size stems in dollars. ChemPriceHub's 5 November market roundup for 6 November publication cited Vancouver FOB granular offers near 770 to 780 dollars per metric tonne, below mid-October transaction bands, while November Qatar QSP posted at 735 dollars FOB and KPC KSP at 720 dollars FOB on the same open English wire.
