Mahima Shipping

Our office is set up at Shop No 20 in the Kandla Special Economic Zone Association Building. Being right here in the heart of the Kandla Economic Zone in Gandhidham-kachchh means we are surrounded by the constant movement of the shipping world. You can hear the trucks and the machinery from the port all day long. It’s a busy place and there’s always a bit of dust in the air from all the activity. We spend most of our time dealing with shipping logs and making sure the cargo is where it’s supposed to be. The building itself is full of other people doing similar things, so there’s a lot of coming and going in the hallways. Our shop isn't very large, just enough room for a few of us and our computers. We’ve got stacks of paper everywhere and some maps pinned to the walls. It’s not the most stylish office you’ll ever see, but it works for us. In the afternoons, when it gets really hot in Kachchh, we usually turn on the old fan and just keep working through the manifests. We talk to a lot of different people, from truck drivers to customs agents. It can be a bit stressful when things get delayed, but we just take it one step at a time. We’ve been here for years and we know the routine of the zone inside and out. It’s just what we do to keep things moving along.
