Goa-based Mormugao Port Trust (MPT) is taking efforts to diversify the cargo handling of the port and convert it into a multi-specialty port.
The port, which largely handles iron ore cargo, has been under severe financial stress because of decline in ore traffic on the back of ban on illegal mining in Goa and Karnataka.
Among other things, the port is said to start facilities for handling chemicals, edible oil and molasses, sugar, fertilizers and priority berthing for container and engineering vessels.
A MPT delegation met Belgaum chamber of commerce and industries to promote the port for exporters of Belgaum region.
