Magdalla Port

Magdalla lies on the Tapi river near Surat and handles shallow-draft cargo for the surrounding industrial belt. River conditions and limited depth mean smaller tonnage and tightly constrained delivery access.

Operational Notes for Magdalla Port

  • River port on the Tapi serving the Surat industrial belt

  • Shallow draft limiting the port to smaller tonnage

  • River access constrains both vessel movement and delivery routing

How We Supply This Port

Magdalla is supplied by road from Surat, which puts a large provisioning market within a short run of the berth.
