India expertise

Insight and strength across India

  • Monsoon port closures

    Monsoon season during summer months may result in flooding and closure of ports at origin with cascading effects throughout supply chains.

  • Dry or wet port?

    Coastal wet ports connect to inland dry ports (ICDs) by rail. With an inland supplier, your containers may be customs cleared and sealed at an ICD before reaching the coast.

  • Alternatives to ocean carrier alliances

    Instead, carriers jointly operate niche services by selling slots on each of their vessels regardless of alliance.

  • Consolidation that scales with your volume

    A dedicated team plans and monitors every Buyer's Consolidation (BC) shipment, on a consolidation model built to grow with you.

  • An inland network, coordinated end to end

    Flexport's presence across the Inland Container Depot (ICD) network keeps trucking and rail moving in sync, door to port.

  • Customs and port ops, handled in-house

    In-house cross-border customs expertise paired with reliable Container Freight Station (CFS) and port operations management.
