Company Overview: Global Ocean Logistics India Limited
Global Ocean Logistics India Limited was established in 2021, making it a relatively new company in the logistics industry.
Despite its short operational history, the company has established a strong presence in freight forwarding and multimodal logistics solutions. Its services include sea, road, rail, and air freight, as well as integrated logistics, allowing it to cater to diverse customer needs.
A key feature of Global Ocean Logistics is its ‘asset-light’ business model. Instead of owning ships, trucks, or extensive infrastructure, the company relies on a robust network of partners.
This approach helps minimise capital expenditure and increases flexibility, especially during fluctuations in demand. The company operates from major Indian ports such as Nhava Sheva, Mundra, Hazira, Chennai, and Pune, giving it access to crucial trade routes.
With operational presence across 23 states and union territories and supported by 8 marketing offices, Global Ocean Logistics has established a significant footprint across India. Internationally, it has served customers through 263 ports worldwide, demonstrating its global reach and operational capabilities.
CFS, Local Services, and Other Verticals
Besides sea freight, Global Ocean Logistics derives a significant portion of its revenue from Container Freight Stations (CFS) and local services, which accounted for 28.57% of its revenue in FY25.
These services include cargo handling, warehousing, and last-mile coordination, which are essential for smooth logistics operations.
Air freight, transportation services, and other logistics segments contribute a smaller share to the revenue but play strategic roles. For example, air freight accounted for 2.93% of the revenue in FY25. Although this share is small, air freight is often high-margin and time-sensitive, making it valuable for specific customer needs.
Transportation services, customs clearance, and project logistics further strengthen the company’s service ecosystem.
Collectively, these services enable Global Ocean Logistics to build long-term relationships with customers who prefer to deal with a single logistics partner rather than multiple vendors.
