LPG Handling

A full rake carries approximately 1200 MT of LPG cargo which is equivalent to 66 Gas Tankers on the road, and is therefore a much safer and environment-friendly alternative. The LPG rake handling facility is established jointly with Aegis Logistics Ltd. The Port has provided a dedicated Dedicated Freight Corridor compliant rail line for quick and safe evacuation of LPG, thereby reducing dependency on road movement.
