    Chennai Port Authority (ChPA) has conducted a stakeholder awareness session on its newly launched Non-Container Cargo Scheme (NCCS) 2026–27, aimed at promoting non-containerized cargo movement and attracting new business through a range of incentives and concessions.

    The session brought together importers, exporters, logistics service providers, trade associations and other trade stakeholders to discuss the features of the scheme, clarify operational aspects and address queries from participants.

    Under NCCS 2026–27, eligible non-container cargo customers can avail wharfage concessions of up to 80%, while a 10% loyalty bonus has been introduced to reward sustained cargo growth. The scheme also provides incentives for new consignees and offers opportunities for long-term collaboration through Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with trade partners.

    According to the Port Authority, the initiative is designed to stimulate growth in non-container cargo volumes, enhance customer engagement and reinforce Chennai Port’s position as a preferred gateway for handling a diverse range of cargoes.

    Chennai Port Authority has invited trade stakeholders to leverage the benefits of the scheme and partner with the port to support cargo growth and strengthen regional logistics and supply chain efficiency.
