Vadinar Oil Terminal Limited Part-I: Two more berths to be set up at Vadinar

Vadinar Oil Terminal Limited (VOTL) is proposing to expand its product evacuation capacity by adding two more berths termed as Berth C and Berth D at Vadinar in Jamnagar,Gujarat.
8This is basically being done to cope with the ongoing expansion project at the Essar Oil Ltd'ss refinery which will go up from the  existing capacity of 10.5MTPA to 60 MTPA.
8Though in the first phase of expansion it is proposed to increase the refining capacity from 10.5 MTPA to 32 MTPA.
8After the refinery scales the 32 MTPA mark, there will be a need to augment marine facilities so as to provide enough flexibility to refinery operations for import of crude oil and evacuation of petroleum products as well.
8Currently, the refinery production capacity is 10.5 Mtpa and the jetty occupation is already at 60-65%. Evidently, when the refinery expansion will be three times the existing capacity, at least two additional berths are required.
8Essar has planned a separate marine facilitiy in the adjacent Salaya Creek that will include liquid handling berths which will cater for the refinery expansion during next phase, from 32 MTPA to 60 MTPA.
8All the product lines which now terminates in the existing berths will be extended to the new berths.
8In addition to that the 48� crude line from the SPM-2 will rise on Berth D through a riser and will travel across the Jetty to the COT area through the Jetty Terminal. Loading and unloading points of crude will be provided in Berth B.
