Bharat Petroleum is crude by pipeline from Mumbai Port container Clog

State-run Bharat Petroleum Corp. is getting enough crude by pipeline to operate its Mumbai refinery after supplies by ship were cut off when Indian authorities shut the nation’s busiest container harbor.

Three ships carrying 1.5 million barrels of crude for the 138,000
barrel-a-day refinery haven’t been able to unload due to the closure of
Mumbai’s Jawaharlal Nehru Port after an accident on Aug. 7, Bharat
Petroleum said in an e-mailed response to questions.

The plant gets
pipeline supplies from an offshore field operated by Oil & Natural
Gas Corp., the refiner said. The refinery typically sources 70 percent
through imports and 30 percent by pipeline.

Jawaharlal Nehru and
neighboring Mumbai Port were closed yesterday as salvagers worked to
recover about 250 containers, which were floating in sea lanes after
being shed by Mediterranean Shipping Co.’s MSC Chitra following a
collision with the MV Khalijia.

As many as 17 ships were stranded at
the two ports and another 15 were waiting to dock following the
shutdown, the shipping ministry said yesterday.

Refined products
from the refinery are mostly transported overland, except for small
quantities of naphtha, Bharat Petroleum said.
