Shipping from Dubai
to India.

PODPort of discharge

The right one is whichever leaves the shortest inland leg to your delivery address. On a long lane that leg is a shipment in its own right, so it is planned rather than assumed.

• Nhava Sheva (Jawaharlal Nehru Port)INNSASea port · Arabian SeaMumbai, Pune, Nashik and Maharashtra, plus Delhi and the north by train
  How cargo reaches Nhava Sheva (Jawaharlal Nehru Port)

  Shipping from Dubai to Nhava Sheva is the busiest pair on this route. It is a straight run across the Arabian Sea from Jebel Ali, about 3 to 8 days port to port, with more sailings than anywhere else in India. That matters if you miss a cut-off, because the next ship is never far away. It is the default gateway for Mumbai and Maharashtra, and containers can move inland under bond by rail for clearance at a dry port rather than at the coast. Sea freight is priced per container on FCL and per cubic metre on LCL, and this is the pair where LCL consolidations are most frequent, which matters if you are shipping less than a container.

• MundraINMUNSea port · Gulf of KutchGujarat, and north and north-west India by rail
  How cargo reaches Mundra

  Shipping from Dubai to Mundra runs the same Arabian Sea crossing, 3 to 8 days port to port, into India's largest commercial container port. For a Gujarat consignee it is the shortest inland leg available anywhere on this lane. For a Delhi or Punjab consignee it is frequently the better answer even though Nhava Sheva looks closer, because the rail corridor north out of Mundra is strong and clearance can be done at an inland depot near the delivery address instead of at the quayside. Get a rate for Mundra
• ChennaiINMAASea port · Bay of BengalTamil Nadu and the south east
  How cargo reaches Chennai

  Shipping from Dubai to Chennai means rounding the southern tip of the subcontinent, so it is a materially longer leg than the west coast and frequently transships rather than running direct. Times vary from ship to ship, so we confirm the days when we quote. It is the right choice when your delivery address is really in the south east. For Bengaluru or Hyderabad, ask us to price a west coast port with a road leg as well, because that is often cheaper. Get a rate for Chennai
• Kandla (Deendayal)INIXYSea port · Gulf of KutchGujarat, and the north by road and rail alongside Mundra
  How cargo reaches Kandla (Deendayal)

  Shipping from Dubai to Kandla is a short Arabian Sea crossing, though the vessel pattern changes from sailing to sailing. Times vary from ship to ship, so we confirm the days when we quote. Deendayal is a government major port and handles containers itself, which makes it a different choice from the private terminals at Mundra nearby.

• HaziraINHZASea port · Gulf of KhambhatSurat, south Gujarat and the industrial belt behind it
  How cargo reaches Hazira

  Shipping from Dubai to Hazira runs on Gulf to India container services, and published timings vary too widely to print one range, so we confirm the days when we quote.

Full containers are priced per container and shared cargo per cubic metre. Get a rate for Hazira
• PipavavINPAVSea port · Arabian SeaSaurashtra, and the north by rail as the alternative to Mundra
  How cargo reaches Pipavav
