Ship supply at Haldia
No ship chandler has activated Haldia yet. The nearest port where a ship chandler is activated is Kolkata (ex Calcutta) (INCCU), 61 km away by great circle. A requirement posted here — provisions, bonded stores and deck, engine and cabin stores, each line an IMPA-coded catalogue item or a specified manual item with its unit — still counts: it alerts the sourcing desk, which recruits for Haldia in the order requirements arrive, and the first ship chandler to activate the port takes its requests uncontested.
