Fresh bananas for Gulf buyers

A schematic, not a map to scale. Load port and destination markets only. Nhava Sheva and Jawaharlal Nehru Port are the same port, two names for one place. UN/LOCODE INNSA.

Shipping routes, honestly

We route through Khor Al Fakkan, which sits outside the Strait of Hormuz, and move your cargo onward by road. Conditions in the region make transit times unpredictable at the moment, so we confirm the time for each booking rather than publishing a figure we cannot hold to.

Other ports

Ports outside the Gulf can sometimes be arranged. Ask us first. We will tell you what is realistic for your port before you commit to anything, and we will say plainly if it is a route we have not run before.
