About our operations
Ship Chandler and Marine Services at Gopalpur Port
Aasutosh Marine operates as a full service ship chandler in Gopalpur Port, covering all berths of Gopalpur Port Limited (GPL) in Ganjam district, Odisha. Our coverage includes the mechanised coal import berth with its integrated high-speed conveyor system, the multipurpose deep-water berths handling iron ore, minerals, fertilisers, agri-products and steel cargo, and the outer anchorage area in the Bay of Bengal off Gopalpur. GPL is operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) following APSEZ’s acquisition of a 95% stake from the Shapoorji Pallonji Group and Orissa Stevedores Limited in March 2024 for Rs 3,080 crore. The port is part of APSEZ’s east coast India portfolio alongside Haldia, Dhamra and Gangavaram, which together provide approximately 140 MMTPA of capacity on India’s eastern seaboard.
Gopalpur Port is an all-weather, natural-depth, deep-water port with berths capable of accommodating Capesize bulk carriers at up to 14.5 metres draft. The port operates without operational downtime regardless of weather conditions, making it a reliable gateway for mineral and bulk commodity movements from Odisha’s mineral belt. In FY 2023-24, GPL handled approximately 11.3 MMT of cargo, a 52% year-on-year increase, with revenue of Rs 520 crore (up 39%) and EBITDA of Rs 232 crore (up 65%), reflecting the port’s rapid commercial growth ahead of the APSEZ acquisition. A ship supplier in Gopalpur Port who understands GPL’s cargo mix, its mechanised bulk infrastructure and the Berhampur-Ganjam hinterland logistics delivers measurably better service than one who begins sourcing after the vessel has berthed.
With over 15 years of India-wide operations, we maintain full IMPA coded inventories for all vessel categories.
