Private port operator APM Terminals Pipavav on Monday said it has commenced operations of Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs). The vessel loaded with cargo from Ruwais, ADNOC Refinery Jetty, discharged 21,907 MT parcel at port Pipavav for Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd.

The maiden berthing of the vessel MT Jag Viraat happened at the port earlier this month.

With a major shift in all India LPG imports to VLGC vessels from earlier Medium Gas Carrier (MGC) ships, the VLGC handling capability at APM Terminals Pipavav becomes critically important. This will allow oil marketing companies to maximise their LPG imports efficiently and safely, the port operator said in a statement.

Owned by Great Eastern Shipping Company, MT Jag Viraat is a VLGC vessel is 230 metres long.
