Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) is gearing up to commence operations at its dedicated jetty at Kamarajar Port by December 2024. The new jetty, designed to handle petroleum products, will significantly enhance IOCL’s operational efficiency and logistics capabilities in the region.
The construction of the jetty, part of IOCL’s strategic infrastructure expansion, aims to streamline the handling and transportation of bulk petroleum products. This development will bolster the company’s supply chain operations, reduce turnaround times, and improve overall logistics efficiency.
The dedicated jetty is expected to accommodate larger vessels and facilitate faster loading and unloading processes, addressing the increasing demand for petroleum products in southern India. The project will also contribute to the port’s growing capacity and capability to handle diverse cargo types.
An official from IOCL highlighted that the new jetty aligns with the company’s vision to enhance its infrastructure and operational capacity. The addition of this facility is poised to support IOCL’s growth ambitions and improve service delivery to its customers.
Kamarajar Port, strategically located on the southeastern coast of India, is set to benefit from the increased throughput and operational efficiency that IOCL’s dedicated jetty will bring. The new facility will also play a crucial role in supporting regional economic development and energy security.
The operationalisation of the jetty by December will mark a significant milestone in IOCL’s infrastructure development efforts and reinforce its commitment to enhancing logistical and operational capabilities in the region.
