          Focus of SCI and especially CS&M Department has always been to be alive and responsive to the emerging challenges in the industry and adopt the best industry practices and provide its business partners and clientele, safe, reliable and economical shipping services, which is an integral part of our vision and objectives. During the last year, we have made conscious efforts to become even more eco-friendly by resorting to prudent fuel management and optimal network management and scheduling of ships and promoting coastal movement of containers along the Indian coast and we have successfully expanded our coastal business & today we are one of the major coastal operators.

Our operating philosophy makes it imperative that we streamline and standardize our procedures and information flow to enable optimum asset utilization, speedier and more consistent decision making, and achieve synergy between Operations, Commercial and Equipment Control segments of the department.
