How steel moves from our mill to Mumbai / Kochi
- 1
Inland origin — Wuhan, Hubei
Wuhan sits on the Yangtze, about 1,000 km inland. It has no deep-sea berth of its own, so every export shipment starts with an inland leg.
- 2
Coastal transfer — Shanghai or Ningbo
Plate moves by Yangtze barge or road to Shanghai or Ningbo, where it is loaded onto an ocean-going vessel FOB. This first leg is identical for every destination we ship to.
- 3
Ocean leg to Mumbai / Kochi — ~15–22 days
Typical transit time from Shanghai to Mumbai / Kochi, based on general ocean-freight experience on this lane. Actual time varies with carrier routing, transshipment and season. The exact schedule is confirmed at booking and is not a commitment for any specific vessel.
Classification society compatibility
Shipyards and repair yards in India commonly work with LR, DNV, BV, ABS, among others. A vessel's classification society is chosen by its owner or yard, regardless of the port it calls at. The WISCO mill holds works approval from all nine major classification societies (CCS, ABS, DNV, GL, BV, LR, RINA, KR and NK), so whichever society your project uses is covered.
