Successful transportation of highly flammable liquid petroleum in cryogenic ISO containers by Kandla International Container Terminal
Kandla International Container Terminal successfully accomplishes the transportation of highly flammable liquid petroleum in cryogenic ISO containers.
Kandla International Container Terminal (KICT) team successfully accomplishes the receipt and handling of cryogenic ethylene and isobutane in iso tank containers. Cryogenic ethylene was imported by HPCL Mittal Energy Limited (HMEL) for the first time in India.
The cargo comprised forty feet iso-containers, each carrying 20MT of cryogenic ethylene and twenty feet iso-containers, each carrying 12 MT of isobutane. It was imported from Europe and handled at Kandla International Container Terminal for onward movement to HMEL Bathinda refinery through dedicated rail rake.
A team at Kandla International Container Terminal successfully executed the above cargo with planning and co-ordination effort by HMEL team along with KICT team for safely unloading and handling Iso-containers. Kudos to all team members on successfully completing the above task.
