Classic Shipping Agency was founded in 1998 with a single mission: to simplify the complex world of customs clearance and vessel coordination for international merchants docking in Gujarat.
As Bhavnagar and Pipavav ports expanded into major national trade corridors, we grew alongside them. By securing early Custom House Agent (CHA) licensing and building robust local networks, we became a dependable partner for vessel owners and charterers. Today, we handle millions of tons of dry bulk, containerized shipments, and liquid cargo, maintaining the same integrity and focus on regulatory compliance that defined our first voyage in 1998.
