Maersk has announced a reduction in its dry port surcharge applicable to cargo moving through Malur Dry Port in Karnataka, offering lower inland transportation costs for customers using the facility. The revised surcharge is expected to benefit exporters and importers by reducing the overall cost of moving containers between the inland terminal and gateway ports.
The adjustment forms part of the carrier’s periodic review of inland tariffs in response to market conditions and operational requirements. Customers shipping cargo via Malur will see the updated surcharge reflected in applicable bookings from the effective date specified by Maersk.
Malur Dry Port serves as an important inland logistics hub for southern India, providing rail and road connectivity to major seaports while supporting manufacturers and exporters across the region. The surcharge reduction is expected to enhance the competitiveness of supply chains using the facility and improve cost efficiency for cargo owners.
