We load at Nhava Sheva (JNPT) and serve all six Gulf markets. We will tell you clearly which ports we already ship to, and which would be new for us.
Markets we serve
- United Arab Emirates Jebel Ali and Khor Al Fakkan
- Saudi Arabia Jeddah and Dammam
- Kuwait Shuwaikh and Shuaiba
- Qatar Hamad
- Oman Sohar and Salalah
- Bahrain Khalifa Bin Salman
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.
Commercial terms
We work on FOB and CIF terms. Volume, packing and commercial terms are agreed for each order. Tell us what you need and we will quote for it.

Under CIF we pay the sea freight and we arrange the marine insurance. The risk still passes to you when the goods are loaded in India. That is what CIF means everywhere, and it decides who makes the claim if a container is damaged in transit.
