Although the port has declared 7.0 m as a safe draft but we have experienced much less depth available during the Low water. Normally the vessel sits down in the low water even at the vessel drawing drafts 6.0m. But as the sea bed is very soft clayey mud for 1-2m depth the vessel does not sustain any damage.
