The Directorate General of Shipping (DGS) today said both the Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru ports have been witnessing regular shipping movements, including night shipping.
The salvers and the Navy have detected a sunk container in the navigation channel and has since been suitably marked by placing lighted buoy, the DGS said.
The Mumbai and JNPT ports opened for unescorted traffic last Monday, after the August 7 oil spill off the city coast caused by the collision of two foreign vessels -- MSC Chitra and MV Khalijia-3.
Following the collision, both the ports were shut for traffic till August 12 with vessel movements resuming with Navy and Coast Guard escorts, which was discontinued on August 23.
