About our operations
Ship Chandler and Marine Services in Navlakhi
Aasutosh Marine operates as a full service ship chandler in Navlakhi Port, covering the GMB RCC jetty, all four private jetties including Shreeji Shipping, United Shippers and Jaydeep Associates, and the inner and outer anchorage areas in Hansthal Creek. Operating from our Gandhidham base in Kutch, we serve bulk carriers, coal vessels, salt carriers, ceramics cargo ships and coastal cargo vessels whose fleet managers, marine superintendents and technical teams call from India, Singapore, Indonesia, UAE and all active maritime nations that depend on Navlakhi for India’s industrial import and export corridor in the Gulf of Kutch.
Navlakhi Port is an all-weather, non-major lighterage port that operates 24 hours a day, with daylight-only navigation using channel buoys from the Tuna Buoy pilot station. The port discharges 8,000 to 9,000 metric tonnes of coal per day, making it one of the highest-throughput coal discharge operations among Gujarat’s minor ports. Vessels arrive on structured schedules to serve Gujarat’s ceramic industry and India’s thermal power sector. Fleet managers and technical superintendents calling at Navlakhi need a ship supplier in Navlakhi Port who can coordinate stores and technical services within the vessel’s cargo discharge window, not after the ship has sailed. In addition, our specialized services such as underwater ship repairs ensure vessels can address critical maintenance requirements without interrupting cargo operations or sailing schedules.
As established marine stores suppliers in Gujarat with over 15 years of continuous operations, we maintain full IMPA coded inventories covering engine, deck, cabin, safety and provision categories. Our ship chandling services in Gujarat at Navlakhi include bonded stores, deck and engine consumables, SOLAS safety equipment servicing, PSC compliance support, underwater hull cleaning Navlakhi, ship repair in Navlakhi Port and spares clearance services.

Service 01
Ship Repairs
Aasutosh Marine provides ship repair in Navlakhi Port at the GMB and private jetties and at anchorage in Hansthal Creek. Bulk carriers and coal vessels at Navlakhi operate on tight discharge schedules, often with multiple shifts of grab and payloader operations running continuously. Our engineers pre-coordinate with vessel masters and technical superintendents before arrival so repair teams, tools and spare parts are at the jetty or launched to the anchorage at the first available opportunity. We handle main engine overhauling, pump and valve repairs, electrical faults and fabrication work at Navlakhi Port.
- Main engine and auxiliary engine overhaul
- Pump, valve and hydraulic system repairs
- Marine electrical and automation repairs
- Emergency repair support 24/7 at Navlakhi
- Jetty and anchorage repair coordination
Service 02
Underwater Repairs
Bulk carriers and coal vessels transiting between Indonesian ports and the Gulf of Kutch accumulate hull fouling that reduces speed and increases fuel consumption on every round voyage. Our certified diving team provides underwater hull cleaning Navlakhi at anchorage in Hansthal Creek and alongside the jetties, without any dry docking required. A propeller polish at Navlakhi before the ballast passage back to Indonesia or the onward coastal leg consistently delivers measurable fuel improvements. Full inspection reports with photographs are delivered on completion.
- Hull cleaning and biofouling removal
- Propeller polishing and blade inspection
- Underwater hull inspection and survey
- Bow thruster and rudder inspection
- Sea chest and valve cleaning
Service 03
Port State Control Assistance
A PSC detention at Navlakhi Port disrupts discharge operations, creates demurrage costs and affects coal delivery schedules for Gujarat and Rajasthan thermal plants. We provide PSC assistance Navlakhi Port from pre-arrival, checking vessel deficiency records against Paris and Tokyo MOU databases before the bulk carrier enters Hansthal Creek. Our team identifies what requires attention and coordinates rectification before the PSCO inspection. For coal vessels on regular Navlakhi rotations, we maintain compliance continuity across multiple voyage calls.
- Pre-inspection vessel preparation
- SOLAS documentation compliance review
- Safety equipment inspection and certification
- Deficiency rectification at Navlakhi
- Coordination with Gujarat Maritime Board
Service 04
Spares Clearing and Consolidation
Spare parts for bulk carriers calling at Navlakhi typically arrive by air into Rajkot or by road through Gandhidham. Without correct Indian customs documentation for duty exemption as ship stores, parts sit in bonded warehouses well after physical delivery, delaying technical work. We manage the complete spares chain from import documentation, customs examination and duty exemption filing through to consolidation at our Gandhidham facility and direct delivery to the vessel at the Navlakhi jetty or at the Hansthal Creek anchorage by lighter.
- Import customs clearance at Navlakhi region
- Multi-origin spares consolidation
- Bonded warehouse storage near Navlakhi
- Lighter delivery to vessel at anchorage
- Export documentation for undelivered spares
Service 05
Marine Supplies and Provisions
As a reliable marine supplier in Navlakhi Port, Aasutosh Marine supplies all IMPA coded deck, engine, cabin and safety stores to bulk carriers, coal vessels and coastal cargo ships at Navlakhi Harbour. Our Gandhidham warehouse carries high-rotation items for same-day dispatch. Operators send their full stores list as soon as ETA is confirmed. We source, pack and coordinate delivery so the lighter or vehicle reaches the vessel with the complete order in one operation, matching the vessel's discharge schedule at Navlakhi's GMB and private jetties.
- Fresh provisions, dry and frozen stores
- Deck and engine room consumables
- Marine paints, ropes and mooring equipment
- Safety equipment (LSA/FFA)

Service 06
Life Saving and Fire Fighting
Aasutosh Marine is an authorised service station for life saving and fire fighting appliances at Navlakhi Port. Bulk carriers on regular coal import routes between Indonesia and Navlakhi sometimes allow LSA and FFA service dates to fall overdue between dry dockings. Our certified technicians hold current approvals for SOLAS Chapter III liferaft servicing, CO2 system inspection and fire extinguisher recharging. Servicing can be completed during the vessel's cargo discharge stay at Navlakhi, preventing PSC deficiency citations and protecting future port call schedules across the vessel's India trade route.
- Life raft annual servicing and hydrostatic release
- CO2 fixed fire-fighting system inspection
- Fire extinguisher recharging and testing
- EPIRB and SART battery replacement
- Immersion suit and lifejacket supply

Port overview
About Navlakhi Port
Navlakhi Port is an all-weather, non-major lighterage port located in Hansthal Creek on the southwest coast of the Gulf of Kutch in Morbi district, Gujarat. Operated by the Gujarat Maritime Board, it serves as an important maritime gateway for the Morbi industrial region. The port operates 24/7 with compulsory pilotage and is well connected to Morbi, Kandla, Rajkot, and Jamnagar through road and rail networks.
The port features five operational jetties, including GMB-owned and private facilities, capable of handling vessels of various sizes. It offers inner and outer anchorages, extensive open cargo storage, direct rail loading facilities, and efficient cargo-handling infrastructure. Its strategic location and multimodal connectivity make it a reliable hub for bulk cargo operations in western India.
Navlakhi Port handles around 8 million metric tonnes of cargo annually, including coal, salt, and ceramics. Coal imported from Indonesia and other countries is transported by rail to power plants across several Indian states. With a major Sagarmala expansion project adding a new mechanized jetty and increasing capacity to 16–20 MMTPA, the port is set to become an even more significant logistics hub, creating greater demand for professional ship chandling and marine support services.
