Seyid Piruz Misavi, General Director of Iranian company of oil terminals, said that the floating terminal to ship gas condensate was put into operation in the Persian Gulf. The carrying capacity of the terminal allows exporting up to 600,000 barrels of the above-mentioned product a day. Therefore, there is a possibility to increase volume of deliveries of gas condensate in parallel with growth of oil export.
Seyid Piruz Musavi added that the above-mentioned floating terminal was put into operation after the repair of its equipment, which started two years ago. All its elements were delivered to the mooring in Asaluye port and last days before the New Year (new 1393 years started in Iran on March 21) the terminal was again returned to its previous place after the repair.
After launching of the floating terminal, the time of shipment of gas condensate to the tankers significantly reduced and the volume of export significantly increased. All the works have been carried out by local specialists and the company managed to save a significant amount of money.
Seyid Piruz Musavi said that the floating terminal will ship gas condensate to the tankers with the displacement of up to 320,000 tons, reported www.Iran.ru.
