  CASC reported that HY-1D will operate in an SSO with LTAN of 13:30, working in pair with HY-1C (LTDN = 10:30). The launch time is thus similar to similar "afternoon SSO" satellites launches out of there like FY-3B/D.

  Well, you are right. The expected launch time fits the 13:30 LTAN.

  China successfully sent an ocean observation satellite HY-1D into space via a Long March-2C rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in N China's Shanxi Thur. The new satellite will form China's first satellite constellation for marine civil service together with HY-1C.
