BPCL's plans to move high viscosity products from Mumbai to Kochi refinery: Kochi to make value added products

So how will the supply integration happen?
8This will be done by constructing a heat traced pipeline in Mumbai and Kochi to transfer these high pour point, high viscosity products.
8The pipeline from the BPCL's Mumbai refinery will take it to the local port and then ferried by coastal shipping to Kochi where a similar pipeline will take it into the refinery.
8During turnarounds, in case of a shortfall, products will move from Kochi to Mumbai if there is a requirement.
8The existing pipelines to the ports from the two refineries transfer only low poor intermediates 
8Only a heat traced pipeline can transfer high viscosity products.
8Around 400 TMT of HSVR (roughly about 34 TMT a month), 170 to 220 TMT of LSHS (14 to 18 TMT per month)  will be loaded from the Mumbai refinery for arrival at Kochi through the new electrically traced pipeline at the Old Prpau jetty.
