MANAGEMENT

Detailed explanation-1: -Pipeline transportation has numerous advantages such as flexibility, complete automation of loading and unloading operations, flexibility, low operating costs, and environmental friendliness. Pipelines are ideal for unidirectional flow of goods and inflationary influences have minimal effect on the transport cost.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lower Energy Use, Reduced Transportation Costs Among the benefits of pipeline transportation of oil and natural gas is the efficiency of the process. Pipeline systems utilize comparably lower amounts of energy to transport significantly larger volumes of oil than can be conveyed by truck, rail, or ship.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pipeline transport is the long-distance transportation of a liquid or gas through a system of pipes-a pipeline-typically to a market area for consumption. The latest data from 2014 gives a total of slightly less than 2, 175, 000 miles (3, 500, 000 km) of pipeline in 120 countries of the world.

Detailed explanation-4: -’Loss of coal during transport due to theft and pilferage is partially eliminated’ is NOT an advantage of pipeline coal transport system for thermal power plants.
