About Kattupalli
Kattupalli is a private port just north of Chennai, built to take container traffic the city terminal cannot absorb and to avoid its road congestion. It shares the Tamil Nadu catchment and is often quoted alongside Chennai. Direct European services are fewer, so schedule usually decides between the two.

Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 22–28 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
