Mumbai (INBOM)

Bombay is the old name for Mumbai.

Arabian Sea Seasonal Tropical Area, Tropical Sep 1 to May 31, Summer Jun 1 to Aug 31.

Mumbai (Bombay) is situated on the W coast of Maharashtra State.

Harbour: Max draught 9.75m, LOA 294m, beam 36.5m, 81,895DWT. Off shore: Max draught 12.20m, LOA 300m, beam 53m, 166,447DWT

Approx 69,000,000t of cargo, 550TEU, 7,500 vessels and 260,000 passengers handled annually.

The port has 63 anchorages and 3 anchorages for vessels with explosives and dangerous cargo. Inner anchorages are available in depths up to approx 9.7m. An anchorage area has been established 20nm NW of the entrance to Mumbai Harbour. However, most vessels anchor within 2.5nm of a position 6nm WNW of the entrance to the harbour. The area is susceptible to a large ground swell. There are numerous anchorage berths for merchant vessels in the S part of the harbour, on both sides of the dredged channel. Tanker anchorages are situated 0.9nm and 1.3nm SW of Butcher Beacon. An emergency anchorage is established 0.45nm NE of Butcher Beacon. An area N of Sunk Rock is reserved for Naval vessels. Prohibited anchorages: Anchoring is prohibited in an area in the harbour entrance extending 4.75nm E from Mumbai Light Vessel. Anchoring and fishing are prohibited in the vicinity of submarine and gas pipelines, which are laid from offshore oilfields to the SW point of Karanja Island (18°52.0'N 072°56.0'E). A prohibited anchorage is established E of Khanderi Island and NW of Back Bay. Explosives anchorages: Vessels arriving with or discharging explosives or other dangerous cargoes will be anchored in the explosives anchorages in the channel leading to Thana Creek, NNE of Elephanta Patch; or NNE of Karanja Beacon.

The port is approached from W and entered via a channel dredged to 11m, between Prongs Reef Lighthouse (18°52.7'N 072°48.0'E) and an unnamed point of land 6nm SE. The approaches to the harbour are well lit, with the Prongs Lighthouse (Racon "G") to the N, visible at 14.5nm and Kanhoji Angre Lighthouse (formerly known as Kennery Lighthouse), to the S visible at 15.6nm. The entrance to the harbour, which has approaches from the SW, is between Prongs Reef and Thull Reef lying off the mainland to the SE, a distance of approx 4.8nm.

1012-1024. The density varies with the state of the tide and major fluctuations occur during the monsoon season.

Pilotage is compulsory for all berthing/unberthing operations and tugs are provided as required. Arrangements for berthing are to be made through local agents. Berths are strictly allotted on first come first serve basis in the quota available of that category of vessel. Presently 6 categories are classified: ..... 1. Container (gearless) 2. Container (geared vessels) 3. Liquid bulk 4. Direct delivery cargo (scrap, etc) 5. Fertiliser and fertiliser material 6. General cargo. Note: The berthing of deep draught and over dimensional vessels carrying bulk cargo at BPX berth is subject to certain conditions. Vessels should vacate the berth 3 days prior to arrival of passenger vessels. On lightering the draught, the vessel's agent should move the vessel to an alternate berth immediately if required by the port. If the vessel does not achieve productivity of 2,000tpd, the berth should be vacated if required by the port, even if no alternate berth is available. Within 24 hours of vacating the berth, the agent should arrange to have the wharf and surrounding area cleaned and washed at his own cost. In case of bulk fertilisers, the cargo will have to be loaded directly into trucks.

Compulsory for all vessels exceeding 100t, the pilotage limits being defined by a line drawn E and W through Prongs Lighthouse. Such vessels may not enter, leave or shift berths in the area N of this line without a pilot or harbour official onboard. Vessels should sent ETA 96 hours in advance with confirmation 48 hours in advance to the agents. Pilotage is available throughout 24 hours. Vessels bound for Mumbai should call Mumbai VTS on VHF Ch 12 when approaching position 18°50.0'N 072°44.2'E. Pilots board in the pilot vessel's cruising ground, in approx position 18° 51.8'N 072°50.0'E.

The port limits are eastward of a line joining backway to BFL to the W point of Kennery Lighthouse.

Kanhoji Angre Lighthouse (formerly known as Kennery Lighthouse), which marks the southern boundary of the port limits, is Fl (2) 13.4M in clear weather. Prongs Lighthouse marks a reef southwards from Colaba Point and dangerous ground which extends for a distance of 0.8nm from it. The light is Fl 10s 14.5M.

In view of siltation of the channel and for confirmed reduction of water depths contact the port authority for the maximum allowable draught. Large vessels may enter Mumbai Harbour by day or night. Deep draught vessels normally enter harbour 2 hours before HW.

Mean spring range 3.6m; mean neap range 1.4m. The tide does not set fairly through the channel but the flood stream sweeps E over Thal Shoal. During the SW monsoon rains, the ebb is strongly W going out of Dharamtar Creek (18° 50.0'N 072°56.0'E). The rate of strong spring tides between Thal Shoal and Prongs Reef is from 2.5kts to 3kts and can be 4kts in the rainy season. Between Thal Shoal and a position 4nm WNW the flood stream sets between ESE and ENE turning more N as the rate increases. In East Channel Swatch it sets in about NNE turning more E as it crosses the mouth of Dharamtar Creek. Off the SW end of Prongs Reef the flood stream sets first in an ESE direction but as the rate increases changes to NE; E of the reef as far as Sunk Rock it sets about NNE. On the S side of the entrance to the harbour the ebb stream first sets WSW across Dharamtar Creek entrance altering towards SSW on nearing Thal Shoal and almost S as it goes farther S. Between Thal Shoal and a position 4nm WNW the ebb tide sets about SW. On the N side of the entrance the ebb stream is SW going from Sunk Rock to abreast Prongs Reef Lighthouse where it sets about W changing to SSW as the rate increases. Tidal streams within the port of Mumbai set as follows with rates of 0.75kts to 3kts: East Side of the harbour-flood stream: The flood stream sets NE abreast Karanja Island setting more ENE after passing Karanja Beacon. Between Butcher Island and Elephanta Island the flood stream sets N but towards Trombay Island becomes NE. West Side of the harbour-flood stream: From Sunk Rock to Cross Island the flood stream sets NNE with a rate of 2kts; N of Tucker Beacon (18°56.0'N 072° 52.0'E), where the stream separates, it becomes N-going until abreast Mazagaon Dockyard (18°58.0'N 072°51.0'E). It then sets between NE and ENE to join the stream from the E side of the harbour N of Butcher Island. East Side of the harbour-ebb stream: The ebb stream starts later than on the W side of the harbour. The ebb stream sets SW from the channel between Jawahar Dweep and Elephanta Island along the N coast of Karanja Island. When abreast the entrance to Dharamtar Creek it sets WSW. West Side of the harbour-ebb stream: The ebb stream at ordinary tides starts 30 to 35 minutes earlier than on the E side of the harbour. During strong spring tides the stream on the W side may start 40 to 60 minutes earlier. From Trombay Island to abreast Mazagaon Dockyard the ebb stream sets SW. Inshore and near Indira Dock Wall, during the SW monsoon, the ebb stream starts 45 minutes before HW Mumbai. From abreast Cross Island to W of Middle Ground Islet it sets SSW; in the middle of the harbour the set is S to SSW. From Middle Ground islet to Sunk Rock the set is between S and SSW but with the first of the ebb the set off Sunk Rock is more W going. The N going stream in the vicinity of the tidal basin and the wet docks is deflected by South Breakwater and runs parallel to it, joining the main N going stream, which passes E of Middle Ground Islet. The stream then runs ENE past the entrance to the tidal basin. An eddy runs S along the E side of the Ballard Pier, before turning W into the tidal basin. The effect of this eddy has been felt up to 100m E of the SE extremity of Ballard Pier. The S going stream flows close E of the head of South Breakwater, before turning SW parallel to it. Caution: The N going and S going streams run strongly past the head of South Breakwater, causing vessels to sheer violently in this vicinity.

A VTMS is in operation. Vessels should report on VHF Ch 14 when arriving within a radius of 24nm of Prongs Lighthouse and register their approach arrival.

Available. There are 6 dock tugs, 2 x 475hp; 6 harbour tugs and 4 hired harbour tugs, 2 x 1,500hp, 2 x 2,860hp. There are no deep sea tugs stationed at Mumbai.

Prevailing winds: NE and SW monsoon. Visibility is considerably reduced during the SW monsoon, during cold weather which produces a smoke haze.
