[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]India’s Ministry of Shipping has plans to develop a LNG bunkering facility at Dharamtar Creek near Mumbai.
“Discussions are going on with two oil marketing companies – Indian Oil Corporation Ltd and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. Soon, one of the two OMCs will be provided with land on lease to have an LNG bunker,” Atul Patne, CEO of Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB) revealed.
It is reported that the project will likely take the form of a joint venture between one of the two OMCs and a private player.
Some international firms will be permitted to develop retrofitting facilities next to the LNG bunker facility at Dharamtar Creek, as they are said to be able to provide related expertise that is not currently available within India.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
