Ratnagiri Port

• Small coastal harbour with limited draft on the Konkan coast

• Commercial and fishing traffic rather than mainline tonnage

• Strong local produce and fish markets for fresh provisioning

We provision Ratnagiri locally for fresh items and run technical stores down from Mumbai, which keeps both cost and lead time sensible.

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.
