A marine link in the cargo journey.
Lighterage is the transfer of cargo using a smaller craft as part of the movement between a larger vessel and the receiving operation. For liquid cargo, the transfer method, craft suitability and receiving arrangements have to be considered together.
The Bay Tankers relationship
Bay Tankers Pvt. Ltd. is an associated marine business that publicly describes the transportation of chemicals, petroleum products and other liquid cargo. Its fleet and services belong to Bay Tankers. Motumal’s role is customs and operating coordination; this relationship does not mean that Motumal owns Bay Tankers’ vessels.

Questions before arrival
Is Bay Tankers part of the Motumal operating story?

Does every bulk shipment require barging?
