We are currently reviewing our position regarding the bulk loading and unloading of LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) at tank wagon gantries (rail) in the oil terminal. Our existing provisions specify that LPG rail loading/unloading gantry shall be located on a separate rail spur and shall not be grouped with other petroleum products. In this context, we like to know the following:
1) What are your guidelines for loading/unloading of LPG at a tank wagon gantry ?
2) Can LPG be loaded/unloaded with other petroleum products e.g. Motor Spirit (MS), High Speed Diesel (HSD), Naphtha at the same gantry?
3) Whether loading/unloading of both the products is permitted in the same Gantry with only one product loading/unloading at the same time, i.e When LPG is being loaded other products are not loaded, and vice versa
We would appreciate your views on loading/unloading of LPG and POL products in the same rail spur.
