Why cargo moves through Chennai

Chennai Port is one of India's major ports and a long-established gateway on the Bay of Bengal in Tamil Nadu. It handles containers, vehicles and general cargo, and serves the automotive, engineering and manufacturing industries of South India. Its position on the east coast gives shorter sailings to Southeast Asia and the Far East than the west coast ports.

How we work at Chennai

Our own team handles Chennai, run from our Gandhidham office. One coordinator plans the job, follows every stage and reports to you in one place, with the same documents and close-out as our work at Kandla and Mundra.

Services at Chennai

  • Freight forwarding and shipping: FCL, LCL and break-bulk bookings, documents and door-to-door delivery.
  • Customs clearance: import and export filings handled by our team, who attend examinations in person.
  • Vessel agency: port calls handled by our team, from arrival notices to the final account.
  • Stevedoring and cargo handling: break-bulk and project cargo handled at the berth by our team.

When Chennai makes sense

For buyers and suppliers in South India, or for cargo to and from Southeast Asia and the Far East, routing through Chennai can save days compared with the west coast. For North and West India, Mundra and Kandla are usually closer. We compare total cost and transit time and recommend the gateway that fits each shipment.
