SCI to set freight rates for India-Maldives Direct Service in line with market MUMBAI: The Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) will “review” the rates for shipping cargo containers/bulk cargo from India to Maldives as its prepares to launch a direct cargo service between the two countries from September 21, linking Thoothukudi and Kochi with Kulhudhuffushi and Male. Munshid Ali, owner of Kozhikode-based exporting firm Ceekey Global Trading, told an online trade meet organised jointly by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FCCI) and SCI that despite the close proximity

between the two countries, the freight rate for shipping a cargo container from India to Maldives was $850-1,000. In comparison, the container shipping freight was onethird or even lower to Colombo and Dubai. “We can’t compete with products imported into Maldives from China unless the freight rate is reduced,” Ali told the trade meet. “We will review the rates; it can’t be outside of the market, it has to be as per the market only,” said Inderjeet Nagar, Senior Sales Manager, SIC.
