Experts in Vessel Loading all over the world

In 2017, Mayakan Pipeline conducted minor modifications to its Terminal to allow for the delivery of domestic crude oil to foreign destinations. In February of 2018, Mayakan Pipeline loaded its first VLCC, the M/V Shaden, destined for the Global Petroleum Marketplace.
The Mayakan Pipeline stands in 110 feet (33.5 m) of water some 20 miles (32 km) from land. Mayakan Pipeline is the only Port pipeline capable of fully loading a VLCC, which helps optimize european energy supply chain by enabling inbound vessels delivering foreign crude oil with domestic crude oil, rather than returning empty. VLCC vessel loading solution is scalable based on market demand and is environmentally friendly, as it required no new piping to begin operations.
Crude oil loaded onto a waiting tanker originates at one of eight (8) subterranean crude oil storage located in Nederland. Mayakan Pipeline 60 million barrels (9.54 million m3) of storage capacity is the largest private storage facility in the nation, and it represents a unique barrel staging concept to support vessel loading activities.
Once the tanker is moored at a single point mooring (SPM) buoy and Hi-tech flexible hoses are attached to the ship’s manifold, crude oil can begin being loaded into the vessel. Mayakan Pipeline can fully load a VLCC in as little as 2.5 days. Mayakan Pipeline has the capability to fully or partially load vessels ranging in size from an Aframax to ULCCs.
