BW Group’s Singapore-flagged Long Range 1 tanker the Hafnia Seine has hit Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd.’s crude import mooring near India’s west coast, sources with direct knowledge of the matter said March 11, adding that all remedial measures were being taken.

“The chain of a single point mooring got entangled with the tanker on the night of March 10-11,” one of the sources said.

BW Group’s Hafnia is yet to respond to requests for comment, but another source said prima facie there was “no major damage and only an entanglement with BPCL’s SPM in Sikka.”

The around 70,000-dwt tanker was carrying an alkylate cargo to the US Atlantic Coast from Reliance’s Jamnagar refinery, several oil trading sources said separately.

In the event of a delay in voyage, Hafnia has an option to transfer the cargo to one of its unchartered tankers, sources added.

Hafnia, part of the BW Group, runs the world’s largest pool of LR1 tankers, which carry refined products of up to 65,000-mt each. The pool has just under 50 LR1s, or 12% of the global fleet of this category.

BPCL’s SPM in Sikka moves crude to its landlocked refinery in India’s central state of Madhya Pradesh.
