Where can cargo be stored near Mundra port?
Near Mundra port, we store cargo at Ambaji Warehouse / CFS, Mundra, a non-bonded facility. It holds cleared imports waiting for delivery and export cargo waiting to be stuffed or shipped. Cargo can leave the terminal before its free days run out, which avoids port storage and container detention charges.
Because we also clear the cargo, an import can move from the terminal to the warehouse the day it is released, and export cargo can be stuffed and trucked to the terminal in time for the vessel. One team handles customs, storage and transport.
