Ship chandler atKattupalli
Tamil Nadu, India — East Coast · Containers and shipbuilding
Tiruvallur
Kattupalli combines a container terminal with a shipyard, north of Chennai, which gives it two very different kinds of customer: liner vessels on a fixed rotation and vessels in for repair or conversion. The second kind stays for weeks and provisions accordingly.
Working Kattupalli
- Yard periods generate long-running provisioning rather than a single delivery on arrival.
- Container rotations are schedule-driven, and the stores window is set by the liner's berth booking.
- Yard and terminal areas are separately controlled, each with its own pass system, so the pass depends on which side the vessel lies.
- Stocked items in 24 hours; allow 48 to 72 hours for special or interstate sourcing.
How we supply Kattupalli
Worked from Chennai on a standing arrangement, with repeat deliveries scheduled across a yard period instead of one oversized drop. In September 2026 we supplied DIN PN10 globe valves in four sizes to a vessel here during its call, with the port, customs and terminal formalities arranged by us.
