About our operations
Ship Chandler and Marine Services at Kolkata Port
Aasutosh Marine operates as a full service ship chandler in Kolkata Port, covering the Kolkata Dock System including Kidderpore Dock and Netaji Subhas Dock, river berths along the Hooghly River, anchorage areas at Diamond Harbour and the broader operational areas under Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata. We serve bulk carrier operators, container shipping lines, general cargo vessel managers and coastal shipping companies whose fleets call at one of India’s oldest and most historically significant ports, a unique riverine port located approximately 203 km inland from the Bay of Bengal on the tidal Hooghly River.
Kolkata Port, officially Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata (SMPK), is an inland riverine port, which means it operates under conditions that are fundamentally different from open-sea ports like Mumbai, JNPT or Paradip. Vessels calling at Kolkata navigate the Hooghly River under pilotage from Sandheads (at the Bay of Bengal) to the Kolkata Dock System, a tidal, channel-dependent passage subject to sounding surveys, seasonal dredging and tide windows. Vessel size at Kolkata is therefore constrained by the river channel’s navigable draft, LOA limitations and bridge clearances. A ship supplier in Kolkata Port who understands this riverine operational environment, and who coordinates supply deliveries around tide-dependent vessel movements and dock schedules, provides measurably better service than one who treats Kolkata like any other port call.
With over 15 years of India-wide operations, we maintain full IMPA coded inventories for all vessel categories. Our ship chandling services in West Bengal at Kolkata include bonded stores, deck and engine consumables, SOLAS safety equipment servicing, PSC compliance support, underwater services at Kolkata Port subject to port permission and operational approval, ship repair in Kolkata Port and spares clearance services, all documented under our ISO 9001 certified process.

Aasutosh Marine is your certified ship chandler in Kolkata Port for the complete range of vessel support at Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port.

Service 01
Ship Repairs
Aasutosh Marine provides ship repair in Kolkata Port at Kidderpore Dock, Netaji Subhas Dock, river berths and Kolkata Dock System berths. Kolkata's riverine port environment means that technical repair windows are often tied to vessel lock-in and lock-out schedules in the dock system. Our engineers pre-coordinate with masters and technical teams before the vessel arrives at Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, staging parts and technicians at the dock gate so work begins on mooring. We handle main engine and auxiliary overhauls, pump and electrical repairs, and mechanical troubleshooting at Kolkata Port, subject to port access permissions.
- Main engine and auxiliary engine overhaul
- Pump, valve and hydraulic system repairs
- Marine electrical and automation repairs
- Emergency repair support 24/7 at Kolkata Port

Service 02
Underwater Services
Underwater services at Kolkata Port are subject to port authority permission, vessel condition, berth location, and the specific operational requirements of the Hooghly River environment. The tidal, silted nature of the Hooghly River at the Kolkata Dock System means that underwater visibility and working conditions vary significantly. Aasutosh Marine coordinates underwater inspection and hull cleaning at Kolkata based on confirmed port permissions, operational approval from the vessel's flag state and P&I club, and actual conditions at the designated berth or anchorage at Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port.
- Hull inspection (subject to port permission)
- Propeller and rudder inspection
- Sea chest and valve cleaning
- Underwater hull cleaning (subject to approval)
- Inspection reports issued on completion
Service 03
Port State Control Assistance
PSC inspections at Kolkata Port are conducted by PSCO officers under the Indian Ocean MOU. A detention at Kolkata disrupts dock schedules, delays cargo operations and creates river-passage complications for onward voyages on the Hooghly. We provide PSC assistance at Kolkata Port from pre-arrival, checking the vessel's deficiency record against Indian Ocean MOU and Paris MOU databases before arrival at Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port. Our team coordinates rectification of safety equipment, documentation and technical deficiencies before the PSCO boards at the Kolkata Dock System.
- Pre-inspection vessel preparation
- SOLAS documentation compliance review
- Safety equipment inspection and certification
- Deficiency rectification at Kolkata Port
- Coordination with port authority and surveyor

We manage the complete spares chain from import documentation and duty exemption filing through consolidation and direct gangway delivery to the vessel at Kidderpore Dock, Netaji Subhas Dock, river berths or anchorage areas at Kolkata Port, based on actual berth access and port permissions.

Port overview
About Kolkata Port (Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port)
Kolkata Port, officially Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata (SMPK), is one of India’s oldest major ports, established in 1870. It is a unique riverine port located about 203 km inland from the Bay of Bengal on the Hooghly River, requiring tidal navigation, pilotage, regular dredging and specific vessel draft and size limitations.
SMPK consists of two major dock complexes: the Kolkata Dock System (KDS), including Kidderpore Dock and Netaji Subhas Dock, and the Haldia Dock Complex (HDC), located about 70 km downstream. KDS handles containers, bulk, liquid and general cargo, while HDC accommodates larger vessels navigating the deeper lower Hooghly channel. Together, they form an integrated port system serving a wide range of vessels and cargo.
The port handles coal, fertilisers, foodgrains, containers, liquid bulk, general cargo and project cargo, serving the hinterland of eastern and northeastern India, including West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and Assam. It is also connected to National Waterway-1 and regional BIMSTEC trade routes. Under the Sagarmala programme, SMPK has been undergoing modernisation through berth upgrades, improved cargo-handling equipment and container terminal development.
