Port of Mormugao

Mormugao’s commercial role is closely associated with the movement of bulk materials. The port has a long history of mineral shipments, while its facilities also serve coal, steel, liquid cargo and other goods needed by industrial customers.

The harbour lies beside Mormugao Head and is protected by breakwater structures. Its working waterfront combines cargo berths with storage areas, including space for coal and steel and installations for liquids. These different facilities allow materials with distinct handling requirements to pass through the port.

Storage is an important part of that transfer, providing space between vessel movements and onward distribution. Mormugao consequently acts as a coastal link in industrial supply chains, bringing together marine access, cargo handling and the preparation of consignments for movement beyond the quays.
