What OV SHIPPING AGENCIES PRIVATE LIMITED does

OV Shipping Agencies Private Limited is an India-based, privately held integrated logistics services firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in Navi Mumbai, operating as part of the Ocean Ventures Group. The company delivers end-to-end international supply chain solutions for enterprise clients, including international freight forwarding (air and ocean, FCL/LCL/breakbulk/project cargo), import and export customs clearance through its own licensed operations, warehousing across SEZ, FTWZ, bonded, and general facilities, breakbulk and heavy lift chartering, transportation for standard and over-dimensional cargo, cross-trade cargo handling, and vessel handling services at Indian ports. Its primary customers are international importers, exporters, project cargo clients, and foreign exporters to India using FTWZ solutions; the firm reports serving 350+ clients worldwide and managing 100,000+ cumulative shipments.

The company earns revenue through transaction-fee arrangements on freight forwarding and chartering services, professional services fees for customs clearance and vessel handling, and managed services fees for warehousing. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to individual shipment requirements, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct enterprise engagement through the company website (ovshipping.com), quote-request forms, email enquiry channels, and relationship-based business development; marketing presence is limited to the website and basic social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube). The firm operates across six principal Indian ports (Mundra, Kandla, Nhava Sheva/JNPT, Mumbai/MbPT, Chennai, and Kolkata) and has been associated with India's first Free Trade Warehousing Zone since 2010. The company employs a team of 40+ logistics professionals (per company-reported data), although a third-party headcount figure of 8 is also present in the data, indicating a possible inconsistency. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, awards, third-party partnerships, funding rounds, or disclosed revenue figures appear in the available data.
