Thereafter flexible hoses are connected in between dock line and ships manifold. On the other hand allege and quantification of receiving shore tank is also done under joint supervision. Then the ship pumps the cargo into shore storage tanks.

The liquid cargo is stored in the shore tank under certain temperature and delivered time to time directly to clients as well as to Unit-II for the purpose of drum filling.
