PERFECTLY POSITIONED PORT OF CHOICE

Global reach

Cochin Port is next to the East-West trade route, only 11 nautical miles from the direct Middle East-Far East sea route. No other Indian port enjoys such strategic geographic proximity to major maritime sea routes. When fully developed, ICTT will be India's largest single operator container terminal. It is a promise of efficiency and our unyielding commitment to our customers worldwide.

Local expertise

DP World Cochin serves as the natural gateway to the vast industrial and agricultural produce markets of South and West India. The port's hinterland connectivity includes the state of Kerala and parts of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Improved road and rail connectivity have substantially reduced transit time and logistics costs, making Cochin Port a preferred gateway for exports and imports to and from the hinterland.
