Lighterage

Home > lighterage

We operate a fleet of four specialized liquid cargo barges — M.T. Tara, M.T. Maya, M.T. Karma-II , and M.T. Raj Deep — dedicated to lighterage of liquid bulk cargoes such as chemicals, lube-base oils, and edible oils from mother vessels at anchorage to designated discharge locations.
Raj Shipping maintains the largest specialized lighterage capacity in Mumbai Port and is the only operator with a fleet vetted and approved by EXXONMOBIL and SHELL under the OCIMF SIRE Inspection Program. Our recently acquired self-propelled barges, M.T. Karma-II, M.T. Tara, and M.T. Maya, represent the largest vessels operating in this segment, ensuring efficient and compliant cargo transfer operations.

We can supply fuel and fresh water directly to rigs and offshore platforms, and we are the only barge operators capable of delivering directly to Mumbai High, the offshore oil and gas fields operated by ONGCL.

We are actively involved in supplying bunkers to:

  • Seismic vessels working on ONGCL projects

  • Offshore supply vessels, support vessels, and tugs

  • Tankers and cargo vessels

  • Rigs and platform drilling units

  • Cruise liners and passenger ships

  • Yachts and pleasure crafts

Over the years, we have developed long-standing relationships with all government-owned oil companies. Since we own and operate our own barges, we are able to offer you the best possible prices.

We understand that fuel and water are precious resources, and we are committed to delivering both with the highest standards of quality and reliability.
