Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT)

Mumbai Port is India's oldest major port, working general and liquid cargo plus a cruise terminal inside Mumbai harbour. Draft varies significantly between the docks and the stream moorings, and road access into the port estate is congested — timing matters more here than in almost any other Indian port.

Operational Notes for Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT)

  • India's oldest major port, inside the sheltered Mumbai harbour

  • Draft varies between enclosed docks and stream moorings

  • Dense urban access; delivery timing is constrained by city traffic

How We Supply This Port

Our Mumbai deliveries are scheduled around gate and traffic windows, with stores held locally so a delayed berthing does not turn into a missed supply.

Customs & Port Formalities in India

  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.
