New Mangalore Port waives cargo charges
Change
New Mangalore Port has waived cargo-related charges for crude oil and LPG from March 14 to March 31, 2026.
Why it matters
The waiver covers cargo-related charges for crude oil and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). It applies for the period March 14–31, 2026. New Mangalore Port is scheduled to receive at least 72,700 tonnes of LPG in the coming week; the Singapore-flagged Pyxis Pioneer arrived carrying LPG from Port of Nederland, Texas, on March 22, 2026. No congestion has been reported at any port, and 22 Indian ships and 611 sailors in the Persian Gulf are reported safe.
