MANGALURU: For the first time, NMPT has witnessed the arrival of MV Minoan Grace to load 22,825 MT of steel cargo of JSW to different ports, including Damietta in Egypt and Marghera in Italy and Sagunto in Spain.
The vessel arrived on August 29 and berthed at berth No. 3. This is the first-of-its kind export consignment from New Mangalore Port Trust. After finishing the loading operation, the vessel sailed on Friday.
While expressing happiness over JSW for patronising the port, A V Ramana, chairman, NMPT, appraised the port’s multi-dimensional friendly initiatives that made this happen such as online gate admittance, improved storage facilities, better service and cost-effective measures.
