500th vessel unloading done at single-point mooring station of Mangalore Refinery

Till 2012, MRPL unloaded crude only through smaller ships which were unloaded at Jetty 11 and 12 of NMPT (New Mangalore Port Trust). The smaller ships with less than 245-metre length and 14-metre draught (part of ship within sea) only could be unloaded at the jetty. Now, the SPM station can attend to vessels with 330-metre length and with 22-metre draught, the release said.
