The CEO of the National Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company (NIOEC) stated that plans are underway to install electronic locks and other equipment on oil tankers.
Mohammad Meshkinfam explained that at the start of the 14th government, a comprehensive plan titled “Real-Time Monitoring of the Supply and Distribution Chain of Petroleum Products” was defined at the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company.
According to Meshkinfam, the first phase focuses on upgrading existing measures, with plans underway to install electronic locks and other equipment on oil tankers and distribution systems. The measures are expected to be completed within nine months.
The plan’s primary aim is to combat fuel smuggling, but it also seeks to optimize co-loading systems, improve monitoring of refining, transfer, and distribution operations, develop infrastructure using modern technologies, and enhance energy resource management.
