Kolkata Port to Russia: Shipping Guide

Eastern India's primary maritime gateway, connected to Russia through RR Brothers' pan-India network.

Overview

Eastern India's Gateway to Russia

Kolkata Port — officially the Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, with docks at both Kolkata and Haldia — is the primary maritime gateway for Eastern India. It serves exporters and importers across West Bengal and the wider eastern region, offering a home port for cargo that would otherwise face a long overland haul to a western or southern gateway.

For shipments moving to Russia, cargo out of Kolkata and Haldia is typically consolidated and routed by sea freight to Russia's western gateways — St. Petersburg and Novorossiysk — the traditional and most direct maritime path for Eastern India-origin freight.

RR Brothers plans and coordinates Kolkata-origin shipments through our wider India network, managed by our Mumbai office alongside our Coimbatore team, so that cargo from anywhere in the country moves under a single point of contact and a single contract.
