About Visakhapatnam
Visakhapatnam is a naturally deep harbour on the east coast serving Andhra Pradesh and the interior towards Telangana. It handles very substantial bulk — iron ore, coal and fertiliser — with containers a smaller part of the business. It is the sensible gateway for the eastern interior, where Chennai would add a long road leg.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Visakhapatnam — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 23–29 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider India lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
