A private vessel drifted and
collided with a jetty at INS Karanja in Uran in neighbouring Navi Mumbai, some 70 kilometres from here on Thursday, said an official.
The vessel MV Halami Star drifted after its anchor broke, an official said, though he added that the jetty did not suffer damage.
A check of the ship by Mumbai Port Control and Marine Police did not find anything suspicious.
"The engines of the ship are not working. There are just two crew members on board. The duo raised an alarm when the vessel was drifting and this alerted coastal police and naval personnel," he said.
The vessel's owner arrived on Saturday with tug boats and other equipment to remove it, he added.
The INS Karanja is an important naval base housing armament depots of Western Naval Command's INS Tunir as well as elite Marcos commandos.
