Tci Seaways

Our office for Tci Seaways is down on Siva Rama Street in Park Town, Chennai. It’s a very old part of the city, right near the railway station and not too far from the port area. You can always hear the horns of the trucks and the general bustle of people moving goods around. The building we are in has seen better days, but it’s sturdy and keeps the sun out. Chennai is always hot, so the first thing we do when we get in is turn on every fan we have. We deal with shipping and moving things by sea, so our desks are usually piled high with manifests and shipping orders. It’s a lot of coordination, calling people at the docks, and checking on where the containers are. There’s no fancy carpet or art on the walls here. It’s just maps, calendars, and a lot of pens that always seem to go missing. We have a small window that looks out onto the street, and it’s always interesting to see the chaos below. Most of us have been in this line of work for years, so we don't get stressed out when a ship is delayed or a truck breaks down. We just pick up the phone and find a way around it. It’s a gritty, busy kind of job in a very busy part of town, but we like it that way and have been doing it for quite some time now.
