Connecting WCI & ECI through Dedicated Vessel Services

India’s extensive coastline has long been a driving force for trade, industry, and regional integration. Yet, the seamless movement of cargo between the West Coast of India (WCI) and the East Coast of India (ECI) continues to pose logistical challenges—calling for dependable, cost-efficient, and timely solutions.

At  Eagle Fleet Logistics, we are proud to offer dedicated coastal vessel services that effectively bridge these two vital economic corridors. With a purpose-built fleet and decades of coastal shipping expertise, we enable cargo owners to move goods swiftly and securely across the nation’s maritime belt.

Strategic Importance of WCI–ECI Linkage

Bridging regional demand disparities: Major ports on the West Coast such as Mundra and JNPT handle significant volumes of steel, infrastructure cargo, and industrial inputs—often destined for consumption or further distribution along the East Coast. Our coastal feeder services efficiently match this demand with reliable maritime connectivity.

Reducing reliance on overland transport: By shifting cargo from congested road and rail networks to the coast, we reduce turnaround times, improve cost-efficiency, and offer a more sustainable transport alternative.

Enabling express logistics: Our specialized container feeder vessels and mini-liners provide reliable schedules and faster loading cycles—crucial for time-sensitive sectors such as cement, agri-products, defence, and bulk commodities.

 

Fleet Optimized for Coastal Operations

Our fleet is specifically designed for the unique requirements of Indian coastal shipping:

Shallow-draft container vessels that access regional ports with limited depth, with a capacity range typically between 200–800 TEU.

Operational flexibility through a fleet of 10+ vessels, allowing us to adjust routes and schedules dynamically based on seasonal demand and customer requirements.

Dry-bulk compatibility, with two dedicated bulk vessels that handle commodities like grains, cement, and minerals alongside our containerised operations.

Service Offerings & Frequency

Our WCI–ECI services are structured to offer frequency, flexibility, and reach:

Weekly feeder services connecting major ports such as Mundra/JNPT to Visakhapatnam, Haldia, and Kolkata, often via Mormugao or Cochin.

Point-to-point sailings tailored for specific customer trade lanes.

Custom charter solutions for project cargo, heavy lift, or oversized shipments—offering end-to-end planning, handling, and execution.
