Ceramics and tiles logistics
Payload-limited freight for the Morbi, Wankaner and Thangadh ceramic cluster.
Tiles reach the weight limit with the container half empty. The constraint is never volume — it is the road payload limit in India and the axle limit at destination, and the two are rarely the same number.
What actually goes wrong
A container stuffed to Indian road limits that cannot legally be hauled at destination, so it has to be de-stuffed at the port at the receiver’s cost. Breakage claims traced back to dunnage that was never specified. A weighbridge stop that costs two days and a penalty.
How we plan around it
We plan the stuff to the lower of the Indian and destination axle limits, and we say which one is binding. Dunnage and lashing are specified before the container is stuffed rather than described afterwards in a claim form.
For Morbi volumes, the gateway choice between Mundra and Pipavav is usually worth more than the freight rate difference. We quote both.
