Crude oil pipeline jetty, Port Dickson, Malacca Straits, West Malaysia


Port Dickson has two refineries which make significant contributions to the local economy. Shell Refining Company has been operating since 1962 and Petronas operates another refinery which began operation in 1963. The modern oil tanker was developed in the period from 1877 to 1885. In 1876, Ludvig and Robert Nobel, brothers of Alfred Nobel, founded Branobel (short for Brothers Nobel) in Baku, Azerbaijan. It was, during the late 19th century, one of the largest oil companies in the world.
