Kollam Port

• Small Kerala harbour with shallow draft and coastal traffic

• Traditional cashew and marine-produce trades

• Short road run from the Kochi supply market

We provision Kollam locally for fresh items and run technical stores from Kochi, which is close enough for same-day delivery.

1. 1

   The vessel's agent files arrival documents through the Port Community System (PCS 1x); stores cannot be delivered before customs entry is granted.

2. 2

   Bonded and duty-free stores for foreign-going vessels are cleared with Indian Customs against a stores shipping bill — allow 24 to 48 hours.

3. 3

   ISPS port entry passes are required for all delivery personnel; photo identification and, at most Major Ports, prior verification apply.

4. 4

   Supplies to foreign-going vessels are zero-rated for GST against valid export documentation, which Marella issues with every invoice.

5. 5

   Garbage and sludge landing must be handled by a pollution-control-board authorised vendor against a signed MARPOL receipt.
