Albatross Shipping Pvt Ltd

Albatross Shipping Pvt Ltd is up on the 9th floor of Om Tower. That’s at 32, Jawahar Lal Nehru Rd, in the Midleton Row area. Being that high up gives us a bit of a view of the city, which is nice when things get stressful during the day. The elevators in Om Tower are always busy with people coming and going from different floors. It’s a central part of Kolkata, so there is always a lot of noise from the street below. We have a regular office with computers and a lot of shipping documents. It’s not a very quiet place because the phones are always going with someone asking about a container. Midleton Row has a lot of history, but we are mostly focused on the present. We deal with shipping, which means we are always looking at maps and schedules. It’s a lot of back-and-forth communication. We aren't a big flashy team with a lot of expensive furniture. We are just workers who know the shipping business inside and out. Some of us have been in this building for years. You get used to the rhythm of the city from up here. We don't have a corporate handbook that tells us how to talk to people. We just speak plain English. Sometimes the 9th floor feels a bit far from the ground, but it’s where we do our work. Om Tower is a landmark for us. It’s where we spend most of our waking hours.
