5.2 Site Location
Situated on the Ballard Pier in the Ballard area in Fort, Mumbai, the Mumbai International
Cruise Terminal is a partially operational terminal facility that is still in use.
A government-led project proposal for a refurbished "international cruise terminal" that
complies with international standards was made by the Mumbai Port Authority (MBPT) and
the Special Planning Authority (SPA).
Location and Selection of the Site: Ballard Pier, an existing location designated for the
International Cruise Terminal and a berthing point for large commercial and tourist vessels,
offers a chance to be redeveloped to create better opportunities for increasing the revenue
from cruise tourism with a plan to create a public domain platform accessible to the general
public.
