Frequently Asked Questions

What is coastal shipping and how is it different from ocean freight?
Coastal shipping (cabotage) involves the movement of cargo between ports within India on Indian-flagged vessels. It is governed by DG Shipping regulations and is typically more cost-effective than road transport for large volumes over medium to long distances.
Which Indian ports are covered in your coastal shipping network?
We cover all major Indian ports including JNPT, Mundra, Kandla, Chennai, Vizag, Kolkata, Cochin, Goa, and Paradip, among others.
Is coastal shipping suitable for all cargo types?
Coastal shipping is ideal for bulk cargo (coal, grain, fertiliser), general containerised cargo, and heavy equipment. Hazardous materials are subject to DG Shipping approval and specific vessel requirements.
