A Qatar terminals company is to offer incentives to big boxship lines calling directly at Hamad Port.
But the measures will only come into force if no transhipments are made at other ports within 250 nautical miles.
Other Gulf states like Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been operating a shipping embargo against Qatar.
The official Qatar News Agency said that QTerminals will reveal the details of the incentives at a later date.
QTerminals is 51% owned by Mwani Qatar and 49% by Qatari shipowner Milaha.
In January this year, QTerminals handled 109,349 teu through 133 vessel calls.
Last week, the UAE said the embargo on Qatar remains after a port circular seemed to suggest an easing of the ban.
The country said the information was “misinterpreted” and a clarification will be issued to ports, Bloomberg reported.
Abu Dhabi Ports had issued a directive that removed any mention of banning cargo shipments to Qatar.
But the Federal Transport Authority said the embargo on Qatar stands and only it has jurisdiction over ports, according to a statement cited by state-run WAM news agency.
Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt severed diplomatic and trade links with Qatar in 2017, accusing it of supporting terrorism, which it denies.
