COASTAL SHIPPING
Move cargo efficiently along India's 7,500+ km coastline. Our coastal shipping services connect all major and minor Indian ports, offering a greener, more cost-effective alternative to road and rail freight for bulk, containerized, and project cargo.
WHY COASTAL SHIPPING
Astromar's Port to Port Shipping network runs the length of India's 7,500+ km coastline, linking 12+ major and minor ports recognised by the Indian Ports Association on both coasts. It's how Astromar moves cargo that road and rail can't carry as economically — a single coastal vessel replaces roughly 700 truckloads, and coastal shipping produces up to 47% less CO₂ than the same cargo moved by road. The Northern corridor alone connects Mundra, India's largest port by cargo volume, to Paradip and Haldia in 5–6 days.
CARGO TYPES
From liquid bulk and chemical tankers to containerized goods and RoRo vehicle cargo, Astromar's coastal fleet handles the full range of domestic freight — including the East Coast route into Vizag, one of India's busiest gateways for steel and bulk commodity cargo. For shipments that begin their journey overseas before continuing along the coast, coastal shipping connects directly with Astromar's ocean freight services at the originating port.
