Port of India

India destination for sea transport

The sea freight India has a very long tradition and the importance of the ports centuries ago during the English colonial period has not diminished until today. Still many goods are delivered to Europe and the Middle East. At the same time the capacity of the ever growing ports is almost completely exhausted. On average, around 380 million tonnes are transhipped. Oil, iron ore and coal are the most important goods handled by Spedition Indien.
