Salt, clinker, roof tiles and fish leave Jafarabad's quay by coastal vessel, not by ocean carrier — UN/LOCODE INJBD (Gujarat, India) currently handles no international shipping traffic at all. The natural harbour, a shallow bay roughly 1.6 km wide at the mouth of the Jafarabad river on the Gulf of Khambhat, moves an estimated 287,000 tonnes of cargo a year and doubles as a working fishing port. Inbound cargo is dominated by coal, timber, building material and gypsum, reflecting a hinterland rich in bauxite, limestone and calcite. There is no rail link; onward transport runs entirely by road. Businesses needing container shipping, customs clearance for foreign trade or liner service should route cargo instead through Pipavav (Port Pipavav/APM Terminals), the nearest deep-water port on the same stretch of coast. Jafarabad therefore fits coastal bulk and fishing logistics rather than international container trade.
