One of the most well-known enterprises engaged in maritime transportation in India is SCI; the company operates domestic and international routes. SCI is a state-owned organization under the control of MPSV. The company’s main office is located in Mumbai, the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra. The company was founded in 1961 as a result of the merger of ESC and WSC; later, two more shipping companies joined (Jayanti SC and MLL). Initially, SCI had fewer than 20 vessels, but now there are more than 80, and the total displacement is estimated at 6 million tons. The company had a maximum of 120 vessels. Today, SCI’s fleet consists of 55 vessels of various deadweight, including tankers, gas carriers, fishermen, and box-type container ships.
In 2025, the company was on the verge of privatization, but it remained state-owned and continued its cargo transportation activities to various parts of the world. SCI vessels call at most ports in Europe, Asia, the Mediterranean, North and South America, and Africa. The total number of employees exceeds 1,300. A distinctive feature of the company is the presence of container ships running on methanol. Buyers can order the transportation of goods to the destination port using container tracking; this is a tool available on the Globy website. Below, we list the main advantages of SCI:
- one of the largest Asian carriers;
- guarantee of safe cargo transportation;
- reasonable prices for transportation services;

- tracking of containers in the ocean.
