Maximum permissible draft

20 Oct 2020 / Mumbai, India

The maximum permissible draft at inner anchorage is 11.8 metres. Recently, a vessel successfully loaded cargo up to 12.7 metres (advantage of tide) which benefits the trade.

Considering above, it is decided to accept vessels beyond 11.8 metres on a case-by-case basis with prior permission, subject to production of indemnity by the party and favourable weather condition.
