Bombay Port Trust
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Mumbai Port.
The port is administered by the Mumbai Port Authority (MbPA), an statutory body of the Government of India. Originally established as the Bombay Port Trust (BPT) in 1873, it was renamed the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) following the city's renaming, and finally transitioned to its current legal title on 31 January 2022 under the Major Port Authorities Act, 2021. The port is primarily used for bulk cargo, while most container traffic is directed to Nhava Sheva port across the harbour.
