Extensive facilities are available for storage of cargo in the docks and outlaying areas. The new sheds have been designed on modern lines with a steel frame and wall of pre-cast concrete blocks. The column spacing has been kept wide enough to allow the use of mobile cranes, forklifts and other cargo handling equipments.
Warehousing accommodation is available for storage of goods which are in the process of despatch either within Mumbai and its suburbs or to the hinterland of the Port. Pre-shipment storage facilities have been accorded to all types of export cargoes such as sugar, oil cakes, iron and steel etc.
