Advantages of the India-Novorossiysk Route
The Black Sea port of Novorossiysk is a convenient logistics center. From the Krasnodar region, there are road and rail connections to other regions of Russia, allowing the Novorossiysk commercial sea port to serve consignees from any area or republic. Delivery of goods to Novorossiysk is particularly advantageous for consignees in European Russia, including St. Petersburg. Cargo shipments for Belarus also pass through this port. Vessels travel from Indian ports directly to the Mediterranean region via the shortest route, and from there, they enter the Black Sea. Transporting to the ports of St. Petersburg or Vladivostok will increase delivery times both by sea and land.
The infrastructure of Novorossiysk matches that of the largest international ports in the world. Clients of freight transportation are guaranteed quick handling, careful treatment of goods, and prompt customs clearance of containers. The technical equipment at the docks ensures rapid unloading, and the warehouse facilities are capable of handling cargo shipments of any volume. For consignees receiving goods from India, Novorossiysk port is one of the most convenient logistics centers.
Delivery Times for Cargo from India to Russia by Sea
Novorossiysk is the closest international port to India for Russian businesses operating in the European part of the country. The transportation time for cargo along this route does not exceed 50 days. However, this duration applies only to connecting and feeder services, where the vessel calls at multiple ports for cargo transshipment on board. Such routes offer minimal shipping costs.
A direct route from an Indian port to Novorossiysk takes about 18 days. For speed, clients will pay a premium price, but time is one of the most valuable resources. On average, a voyage from the Indian or Arabian Sea to the Black Sea lasts about 30 days. In this case, the vessel calls at several feeder ports to unload the received containers. A month-long journey is an option for clients who prefer a balance between speed and shipping cost.
Cargo Delivery Costs
The price of cargo transportation is determined by the weight and volume characteristics, the type of cargo, the distance of the route, and the level of responsibility of the parties for the entrusted property.

How to Deliver a Container from India via Novorossiysk
If you are looking to start foreign economic activities with India, this brief guide is for you.
First and foremost, you must have a foreign economic contract with the sender of the cargo in India, which should outline all the delivery conditions: the name of the cargo, quantity, weight, Incoterms conditions, and terms and currency of settlement.
The seller may not always be able to ship the cargo themselves. You will need a freight forwarding company on that side. This is where reliable agents in India are essential, as they will ensure the loading of goods from the factory, transportation to the port, and handling of the loading onto the vessel.
Before the cargo arrives at the port of Novorossiysk, you need to prepare for its reception. It is important to know the exact arrival date of the vessel and to have a complete set of documents for customs clearance in Russia, including certificates or declarations of conformity.
In Novorossiysk, you will need a freight forwarder (your representative in the port by power of attorney) who will oversee the unloading of the container with your cargo from the vessel. After unloading, customs and border services may send the cargo for inspection operations.
Our company guarantees maximum benefits from the India-Novorossiysk route. We assist in obtaining certificates for imported goods, charter vessels, organize customs clearance, and accompany the cargo across the border. "Win Way Logistics" is a reliable port forwarder and customs broker. Cargo exported from the port is transported to any city on the map of Russia's road or rail network.
