Capt. Vikas Sirohi, Vertical Head, Turnkey Projects and FTWZ Services, said, “Seaways FTWZ is consolidating its presence in the southern region through the Sriperumbudur facility. We have recently entered the Mumbai market and look forward to expand our presence to other parts of India including Visakhapatnam, Mundra, Ennore (near Chennai) and Khurja.”
