Jawahar Dweep — also historically known as Butcher Island — is the offshore oil terminal complex within Mumbai Port, serving as the primary crude oil import and petroleum product export facility for a leading Indian refiner's 12 MTPA Mumbai refinery and a major Indian oil marketer's 7.5 MTPA Mumbai refinery. For bunker purposes, Jawahar Dweep offers pipeline-speed refueling for tanker-class vessels at the dedicated mooring positions, making it a priority option for large tanker bunker operations on the Indian west coast.
Jawahar Dweep consists of multiple mooring positions including single-point mooring (SPM) capability for VLCC-class crude carriers plus conventional tanker berths. The facility is critical to Mumbai's petroleum infrastructure — crude imports feed the two Mumbai refineries and product exports support coastal and international distribution. Vessel traffic is heavy and continuous.
Jawahar Dweep is associated with Mumbai Port — offshore oil terminal island within mumbai port limits. Many vessel operators evaluate Jawahar Dweep and Mumbai together when planning Indian port calls. See the Mumbai bunker guide for context on the broader supply area.

Pipeline bunker supply at Jawahar Dweep is dominated by a leading Indian refiner and a major Indian oil marketer given their refinery ownership. VLSFO and HSFO are available in large volumes at pipeline speed. LSMGO and HSD supplement for specific requirements. The facility is best suited to tankers already calling Mumbai for cargo operations — the bunker-concurrent-with-cargo efficiency is substantial versus a separate port call.
Supply landscape: Seven Ocean sources bunker fuel at this location from the full range of available physical suppliers — state-owned oil marketing companies, private-sector bunker operators, and private regional specialists — selecting for each nomination based on price, quality and availability.
Refinery & product source: the Mumbai refinery complex (12 MTPA) and the additional Mumbai refinery (7.5 MTPA) pipeline connections.
Pipeline bunker at dedicated mooring positions is the primary method and the fastest delivery option in Mumbai waters. Supply rates substantially exceed typical barge throughput. Barge-to-ship is available as a backup for positions without direct pipeline access.
VLCCs, Suezmax tankers, product tankers, crude carriers.
GST on bunker fuel at Jawahar Dweep, as at all Indian ports, is 5 percent for both foreign-going and coastal vessels. Indian-flag vessels operating under the Merchant Shipping Act plying cargo between Indian ports can claim customs duty exemption on imported bunker fuels subject to documentary conditions — we handle this paperwork as part of the supply contract. Bunker Delivery Notes are issued MARPOL Annex VI compliant with every stem.
