TCI Seaways Ltd. started as an independent sea cargo division in February 1995. It heralded the dawn of a new era for the parent company - TCI, with the territories having extended even further.

TCI Seaways caters to the coastal cargo movement requirements for transporting container and bulk cargo from Madras on the Indian coast to Port Blair in the Andaman and Nicobar islands.

It has 64 TEU containers and five vessels MV TCI XPS, MV TCI Arjun, MV TCI Shakti and MV TCI Vijay and MV TCI Lakshmi.


The cargo largely consists of a variety of products including cattle, perishables and general goods to the islands. It usually ferries back timber, wood products, and betel nuts to the mainland from the Andaman. Also a substantial cargo relates to the defence equipment and movement of vehicles.
