First Ever Ship-To-Ship Special Grade Diesel Oil Transfer Done Inside Paradip Port

Bhubaneswar:24/7/24: Paradip port has done the first ship-to-ship Special grade diesel oil transfer from MV Orkim Fortitude to empty tanker MV Torm Republican at its North Oil Jetty inside the Harbour area to save on shipping costs as the entity looks at innovative ways as a pivot to boost business.

Chairman P.L. Haranadh and Dy. Chairman, Nilabhra Dasgupta have congratulated Team PPA for this stupendous achievement. A symbolic cake cutting was done by Chairman, PPA to celebrate the success.

Ship to ship (STS) is a critical operation carried out in the absence of shore reception and enables transfer of cargo seamlessly crossing the difficulties. In Paradip Port, the flexibility of doing STS both at outside anchorage and within harbor is explored as due to unfavorable weather conditions at anchorage, the STS was done inside Harbour.

This has opened new dimensions in the operability of the Port and added yet another feather in the cap. All these were done by in-house Pilot of PPA supported by Marine and Traffic teams.
