Sea Lord Containers has launched a new cryogenic LPG terminal in Mangalore, marking a significant improvement in India’s energy logistics capacity. With an 82,000-metric-ton static storage capacity, this facility enhances storage efficiency and strengthens Aegis Logistics’ presence in coastal energy infrastructure. Operated through Aegis Vopak Terminals, the terminal not only addresses domestic energy needs but also aligns with the government’s initiative to modernize India’s energy logistics landscape.
The cryogenic technology employed at the terminal allows for safer and more effective handling of LPG compared to traditional methods. This innovation enables better management of seasonal demand fluctuations, ensuring reliable fuel supply for industrial and residential users alike. Experts agree that such terminals are pivotal in transitioning to cleaner energy sources, reducing reliance on high-carbon alternatives.
Aegis Logistics’ investment in this facility underscores its commitment to sustainable practices, reflecting national clean energy goals and India’s Maritime Vision 2030. The terminal integrates advanced safety and operational standards, paving the way for more environmentally friendly shipping and port operations. It has the potential to serve as a model for sustainable infrastructure across India’s coastal regions, promoting fair access and community engagement, particularly among marginalized groups.
