Hassani told Shana that loading arm is a very important equipment to load crude oil and the technology, that used to be imported, is now indigenized.

He said the arms are used in transfer of oil from oil jetties to the tankers berthing in Kharg terminal.

He added that the prototype of such a device was manufactured to be applied in no. 10 berthing place of the eastern jetty of Kharg terminal and it now follows tentative operation.

Once the tentative phase is over the device will be installed in Kharg terminal, he concluded.
