sea freight imports from kolkata to the uk

Barrington Freight provides sea freight importation services from the Port of Kolkata (INCCU) to the UK, thereby assisting numerous British firms that have trading partners in the city and the wider Indian state of West Bengal. Given the historical trading ties between the UK and Kolkata – formerly Calcutta – there are many UK importation firms with links to suppliers in the city. Numerous steel, engineering, pharmaceutical and food processing companies operate in – or close to – the city. As such, importing goods for the UK market from Kolkata makes sense for a lot of British businesses.

However, Kolkata is miles from the coast of India and vessels must head upriver in order to reach the city’s port. This means that not all ocean-going vessels will travel to the UK directly from the city. Consequently, a degree of expertise is required when arranging shipping from Kolkata to the UK. This is exactly what British importation firms can expect when they turn to Barrington Freight for help. We have been providing professional services to UK companies that want to trade with suppliers in the region for decades. As such, you can benefit from our local know-how and experience with international shipping routes.

To begin with, there are two port complexes you can choose from at the Port of Kolkata. One is known as the Kolkata Dock System while the other is referred to as the Haldia Dock Complex. From a logistical point of view, each one has certain distinct characteristics that make it preferable under certain circumstances. Place your trust in experienced freight forwarding professionals and ask Barrington Freight to make the necessary arrangements on your behalf.
