According to officials, the Pyxis Pioneer reached the port with its full cargo. The LPG shipment is expected to support supply needs. Meanwhile, authorities are managing the unloading process at the port.
At the same time, another vessel named Aquatitan also reached Mangalore. This ship carried crude oil from Russia. It arrived after sunset on Saturday night. Officials later confirmed that the vessel unloaded 96,000 tons of crude oil at the Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited.
Crude oil cargo diverted to India amid global shifts
Officials said that the Aquatitan had originally loaded its cargo at the Baltic port in late January. It was initially meant to travel to the Rizhao port in China. However, recent developments changed its route.
The United States allowed India to buy Russian oil that was stuck at sea. Therefore, Indian refineries began purchasing such cargo. As a result, the Aquatitan diverted to India instead of China.
Meanwhile, MRPL representatives stated that more shipments are expected. They confirmed that four additional ships are currently at sea. These vessels are likely to arrive in India soon.
The arrival of both ships reflects ongoing adjustments in global fuel trade. It also shows how supply routes are changing based on policy decisions. Therefore, ports like Mangalore continue to play a key role in handling energy imports.
