The Buyer’s Problem
Why this solution exists
Import terminals are high-pressure environments, literally and operationally. A mismatch between jetty systems, storage, and dispatch can lead to bottlenecks, product loss, or safety violations. Integration is everything.
What Bharat Delivers
One scope, end to end
The jetty interface through to the tank farm and back out. Marine offloading and loading, jetty pipeline with coating and cathodic protection, custody transfer metering, emergency shutdown, bunkering supply. Where product enters or leaves the country.

FAQ
Common questions
What does the jetty scope include?+
Marine loading and offloading arms, the jetty pipeline with coating and cathodic protection, custody transfer metering, emergency shutdown, and the tie-in to the tank farm.
How is custody transfer handled?+
Coriolis mass flow metering at the jetty and at dispatch, integrated with the terminal automation so the transferred quantity is measured and logged on both sides.
Is bunkering supply part of the same solution?+
Yes. A bunkering facility is one of the three configurations, sharing the jetty interface, storage and metering with the import and export scope.
How does this differ from Marine Cargo Containment?+
This solution is the shore-side terminal. Marine Cargo Containment is the tank on the vessel. The two meet at the marine arm on the jetty.
