Ulwe Port

Ulwe is situated along Panvel Creek and the old village, among 10 others, was abandoned to make way for the new Navi Mumbai Airport. It is at a distance of 6 miles from Panvel. There is a wharf at Ulwe. The old pier is in a dilapidated condition. This port is not approachable to big steamers. There are two seasonal sailing vessels for passenger traffic. Mostly these vessels are used for carrying vegetables and fruits to Mumbai. The chief goods exported from Ulwe are fruits, vegetables, rice, grain, salt, firewood, and sand.^[4]
