Yes, service tax shall be applicable on transportation of goods by vessel from a place outside India to the first customs station of landing in India w.e.f. 01.06.2016

However you are entitle to claim abatement of 70% on the gross amount charged. Further shipping lines are entitle to avail CENVAT Credit of service tax paid on input service.
