Port overview
About Magdalla Port
Magdalla Port is a tidal lighterage port located on the southern bank of the Tapi River in Surat, Gujarat, about 10–16 km from the Arabian Sea. Operated by the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB), it serves as the administrative hub for a larger port network that includes river jetties, Hazira’s industrial ports, and a Deep Water Anchorage (DWA) offshore. The port mainly handles coal, cement, and clinker, with infrastructure such as two main jetties and supporting wharves, while navigation depends on tidal conditions and requires pilotage.
The Deep Water Anchorage supports larger vessels that cannot access the river channel, allowing operations like bulk cargo handling, lighterage, and ship-to-ship transfers. The Hazira port cluster nearby includes major industrial terminals such as AM/NS India (Essar Steel), Reliance Industries, Adani Hazira Port, and LNG facilities. Together, these ports form a critical maritime hub with diverse cargo handling capabilities including bulk, containers, and liquid chemicals.
Surat, the main hinterland, is one of India’s fastest-growing cities and a global leader in diamond processing and textile manufacturing. Its strong industrial base, along with steel and petrochemical industries in Hazira, drives significant port activity. This makes the Magdalla Port Group an important logistics and trade center, supporting a wide range of marine and shipping services.
