sea freight imports from new delhi to the uk

British importers who want to ship goods to the UK by sea from New Delhi can do so quickly and easily thanks to Barrington Freight’s professional freight forwarding service. Given that New Delhi, India’s centrally-located capital city, is nowhere near the coast, it may not be your first thought to use seaborne services to get goods from suppliers in the region to the UK. However, New Delhi does have its own port, known as Tughlakabad (INTKD), albeit an inland one. 

Ideal for containerised goods of all kinds, Tughlakabad is the biggest so-called dry port in the whole country. Having been operational since the 1990s, multiple shipments of containerised goods are sent to the country’s seaports every day from New Delhi heading to some of the busiest seaports in India. 

Typically, we will arrange for your goods to enter the port in New Delhi and to clear Indian customs checks at that point. We will then have your imports conveyed to the large container port in Mumbai or those on the coast of Gujarat State, such as Mundra or Porbandar, to name but two. Equally, we can arrange transit of imports to the UK via some of the country’s eastern ports, such as Paradip, for example, but this will necessarily entail a longer sea journey across the Indian Ocean. 

Whichever staging post is used to transfer your imports onto ocean-going vessels, the operations team at Barrington Freight will ensure swift progress is made and that the onward journey to the UK via the Red Sea and the Suez Canal is conducted in accordance with your delivery expectations.
