KARACHI:
Pakistan’s leading oil company Byco Petroleum’s Single Point Mooring (SPM) has imported 10 million tons of POL products and celebrated six years of safe continuous operations, since its inception. Byco’s SPM has been operating since 2012, including the severe monsoon season, which was previously considered impossible for the area. Byco’s SPM is Pakistan’s only floating terminal and revolutionises the handling of crude oil and refined petroleum products in the country. The SPM has been set up in the deep sea and is connected to a storage tank via 15 km of both on-shore and sub-sea pipelines. Byco has a storage capacity of 140,000 metric tons. At a ceremony marking the achievement, BPPL Vice President of Operations Mansoor Shafique Qureshi remarked, “Byco’s SPM is a national asset for Pakistan. Its continuous safe operations are a testament to our promise of keeping safety Byco’s top priority.”
