The Port of Nhava Sheva lies on the east of the Port of Mumbai about six nautical miles away across the Thane Creek. It is also commonly known as the Jawaharlal Nehru Port as it is run by the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust. It is known to be the busiest port in India and deals with almost half of the country’s imports and exports. The Port of Nhava Sheva and the Port of Mumbai have a common entry channel that stretches about 21 kilometres (33.9 miles) and at a depth of 10.1 to 11 metres (33 to 36 feet).
