Shreeji Shipping Secures Exclusive Cargo Handling Rights at Karanja Creek Facility
Integrated shipping and logistics solutions provider Shreeji Shipping Global Ltd has announced a significant milestone in its growth journey. The company has entered into an agreement with Karanja Terminal & Logistics to handle dry bulk and liquid cargo at a dedicated waterfront facility at Karanja Creek in Maharashtra’s Raigad district.
Effective February 10, 2026, Shreeji Shipping has secured exclusive rights to operate at the 200-metre waterfront facility. Commercial operations at the terminal are expected to begin by the end of March 2026, according to the company’s official statement.
This development marks a major strategic move, strengthening the company’s presence in one of India’s most crucial maritime and industrial corridors.
Dedicated 200-Metre Waterfront Advantage
The 200-metre dedicated waterfront facility provides Shreeji Shipping with operational flexibility and enhanced cargo management capabilities. Exclusive access ensures:
Streamlined vessel berthing
Faster cargo turnaround times
Efficient dry bulk and liquid cargo handling
Reduced congestion and improved logistics planning
With a dedicated operational base, the company can optimise port efficiency while maintaining higher service reliability for its clients across industries.
Strengthening Presence Across Major Cargo Hubs
Maharashtra remains a key gateway for imports and industrial cargo movement in India. By securing operations at Karanja Creek, Shreeji Shipping reinforces its footprint in western India.
The expansion follows the company’s existing operational presence at Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, further enhancing its strategic positioning across major cargo hubs in the country.
With operational capabilities now spanning both eastern and western corridors, Shreeji Shipping is strengthening its national logistics network and expanding its ability to serve diverse industrial clusters.
Focus on Dry Bulk and Liquid Cargo
Shreeji Shipping operates extensively in the dry bulk and liquid cargo handling and coastal logistics segments. The company transports essential commodities such as:
Coal
Pet coke
Sulphur
Clinker
Other key industrial materials
These commodities play a critical role in power generation, cement production, manufacturing, and infrastructure development.
Access to the Karanja terminal will enable the company to efficiently manage increasing import volumes and rising coastal cargo movements, particularly in Maharashtra’s industrial belt.
Capitalising on Rising Import and Coastal Movement
India’s growing infrastructure and manufacturing sectors are driving higher demand for imported raw materials and bulk commodities. By securing exclusive rights at Karanja Creek, Shreeji Shipping positions itself to capitalise on:
Rising import volumes
Increased coastal shipping demand
Expanding industrial activity in western India
Improved supply chain integration
The company stated that the new facility will enhance its ability to serve industrial and infrastructure sectors more efficiently, offering reliable and scalable cargo solutions.
Driving Future Growth Through Infrastructure Access
The agreement with Karanja Terminal & Logistics reflects Shreeji Shipping’s forward-looking strategy to secure dedicated infrastructure access. In a competitive logistics landscape, operational control over port facilities provides a strong advantage in ensuring service consistency and capacity expansion.
With commercial operations set to commence by March 2026, this development marks a significant step in Shreeji Shipping’s long-term growth roadmap, reinforcing its position as a key player in India’s dry bulk and liquid cargo logistics ecosystem.
As cargo volumes continue to grow and coastal logistics gain momentum, Shreeji Shipping’s exclusive foothold at Karanja Creek is poised to support stronger operational performance and sustained industry relevance.
