Bulk

HORMOZGAN TAR IND’L PRODUCING CO. has three shore tanks with totally 10,000 MT capacity for storing and distributing bitumen in bulk. The tankage is very near to the jetty along the main harbor. All penetration grade bitumen can be supplied in bulk vessel, road tankers.

Loading rate

A small vessel with the capacity 3,000 metric tons can be loaded within 1- 2 days and delivered to most ports in India within 7 to 14 days. Such small bulk bitumen ships of this capacity are designed for short distance travel. For longer distances the availability of bulk bitumen vessels must be asserted and they must be larger in size to withstand the voyage and also make it cost effective to use this mean as a transportation method.

Price

Bulk bitumen price is an average of 40.00 USD per metric tons less than drummed bitumen.  The shipping cost of bulk bitumen is generally higher than bitumen shipped in containers.

Type of bag bitumen vessels

Bulk Vessels for bitumen transportation vary in size and capacity. Generally the export of bitumen from Iran or UAE is done through traditional packaging for bitumen such as new steel drums or polybags. One main reason is the method of payment which is used for bulk bitumen orders.
