Introduction:
Lotte Chemical Pakistan Limited (LCPL) is a manufacturer and supplier of Purified Terephthalic Acid
(PTA). PTA is the primary raw material for producing Polyester fiber, Polyester filament yarn (PFY),
Polyester film and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). LCPL production capacity is 500,000 tonnes.
With a turnover of $92 billion in 19 countries, spread over 20 businesses, Lotte is one of South Korea's
largest conglomerates. In Pakistan its construction phase started under ICI's supervision in 1996 with
the PTA plant commissioned in 1998. PTA business demerged from ICI Pakistan Ltd into Pakistan PTA
Ltd (PPTA) in 2000. By 2008, PPTA had become a part of AkzoNobel since AkzoNobel acquired ICI
globally. In 2009, KP Chemical, a subsidiary of Lotte, acquired PPTA making it part of Lotte and changed
its name to Lotte Pakistan PTA Ltd (LPPTA). In 2012, the Co-Generation Plant was commissioned and
KP Chemical's identity changed globally to Lotte Chemical and in 2013, LPPTA became Lotte Chemical
Pakistan Ltd.
PTA is the primary raw material for producing Polyester fiber, Polyester filament yarn, Polyester film
and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). LCPL holds the foundation of the polyester chain in Pakistan
and retains its edge by being a local producer and key supplier for the domestic Polyester and PET
industries with short delivery, world class quality and exceptional customer service.
For producing PTA we import our feedstock (Paraxylene) from reputable suppliers based in Asia and
Middle-East region. Our plant operates under a technology license with IPT (Investa Performance
Technologies) which is currently the leading global supplier of PTA technology.
LCPL has also enabled expansive infrastructure development in Port Qasim area including Chemical
Jetty, raw water pipeline and production of industrial gasses through third party contracts. This has
started a new trend in industrial investments in Pakistan.
Besides enabling significant growth in downstream industries LCPL operations provide significant
foreign exchange savings in excess of USD 100 million annually for the country.

TRANSPORTATION MODES OF LOTTE CHEMICAL PAKISTAN LTD:
Lotte Chemical Pakistan uses the following transportation methods for in their business.
1. By Sea
2. Through Pipeline
3. By Air
4. By Road
1. By Sea
Lotte Chemical Pakistan Ltd is using this mode of transportation for importing the active
ingredient of their core product i.e. Purified Terephthalic acid. They import multiple chemicals
through this mode; however their main shipments are consisting of importing the “Paraxylene”
and “Acetic Acid”.
They normally import these chemical quantities in bulk form from the Middle East, China and
KSA. Since these chemicals are in liquid form, hence the Motor Tankers are being used to ship
these chemicals.
They have made the joint venture with the Engro and made the chemicals jetty at Port Qasim
which is named as ‘EVTL’ (Engro Vopak Terminal). Normally all the Motor Tankers having the
similar parameters which this jetty specified and carrying these kinds of chemicals,
discharged/loaded from here.
2. Through Pipeline
The EVTL jetty has the oil piers, through which the handlings of liquids are being done. Lotte
Chemicals Pakistan Ltd is using this made to basically supply their chemicals from port to their
plant.
When the Motor Tanker calls at the port, first they prefer to fill the capacity of their plant. So
they use the pipeline which directly sends these chemicals to their plant. However the motor
tankers carrying a lot of quantity which their plant can’t fill in one go. So therefore, they are
using the 3rd party services to carry the remaining quantities. They are having the vendor at
Port Qasim which carries their stock in the buffer tanks at the bonded warehouse. So whenever
their plant is out of the specific chemical’s quantity, they will intimate the vendor and he will
supply the same to their plant accordingly.
3. By Air
Airfreight involves the shipment of packages and goods via an air carrier. An air carrier could
be commercial or charter. Transportation via air carriers allows shipments an easier gateway
to anywhere that airlines fly and land.

decades and considered an efficient and quicker way of transporting goods.
Lotte Chemical Pakistan Ltd using this transportation system i.e. Air for different purposes.
Normally they use this mode of transportation when they need the different engineering spare
parts for their plant.

Motors, Caterpillar etc. They are also using this mode in any case of urgent shipments required
for their core product, i.e. chemical. Also they use this mode when the shipment is not really
large in size. Air Freight Process includes 3 major process mentioned below.
