Why us
Why Ships Call at Visakhapatnam Port
Visakhapatnam is India's largest port by cargo volume handled and one of the deepest natural harbours on the subcontinent. Its position on the east coast, combined with industrial connectivity and multi-cargo capability, makes it a mandatory call for bulk, tanker, container, and offshore operators on Bay of Bengal routes.
Natural Deep-Water Harbour
Visakhapatnam harbour offers natural draft depths that accommodate Capesize and VLOC bulk carriers alongside deep-draft tankers without tide dependency, reducing waiting time for larger vessels.
East Coast India Gateway
Located midway on the eastern seaboard between Kolkata and Chennai, Visakhapatnam is the natural transhipment and load port for cargo originating from Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh.
Iron Ore and Steel Exports
Visakhapatnam is one of India's leading iron ore export terminals and the primary outlet for RINL Vizag Steel Plant production. Bulk carriers on India-China and India-Japan routes call here on regular schedules.
Coal and Petroleum Imports
Thermal and coking coal imports for Andhra Pradesh power plants and petroleum product movements for the HPCL refinery at Visakhapatnam keep tankers and bulk carriers on consistent calling patterns.
Offshore Logistics Hub
Visakhapatnam serves as the shore base for hydrocarbon exploration and production activities in the Krishna-Godavari basin, the Mahanadi offshore block, and other Bay of Bengal fields, creating regular demand for offshore supply vessel support.
Eastern Naval Command
Visakhapatnam is headquarters of the Indian Navy's Eastern Naval Command. This creates permanent demand for naval vessel supply, bonded stores, and technical services from certified contractors with appropriate clearances.

Port overview
About Visakhapatnam Port
Visakhapatnam Port, commonly known as Vizag Port, is India's largest seaport by cargo volume and one of the oldest on the eastern seaboard. Located on the northern Andhra Pradesh coast along the Bay of Bengal, the port operates a natural harbour protected by Dolphin's Nose headland, offering safe anchorage and consistent draft access without significant tide restriction.
The port handles over 70 million metric tonnes of cargo annually across bulk, liquid, container, and general cargo categories. Key commodities include iron ore exports, coal imports, crude oil, petroleum products, fertilisers, steel products, containers, and industrial project cargo. Gangavaram Port, operated adjacent to Visakhapatnam, adds further deep-draft capacity for Capesize bulkers and large tankers, extending the effective port complex into one of India's most capable east coast cargo hubs.
Visakhapatnam is also headquarters of the Indian Navy's Eastern Naval Command, which maintains a permanent naval presence and creates ongoing demand for bonded store supply and technical services from certified marine contractors. The presence of HPCL's major refinery, the RINL Vizag Steel Plant, and strong rail connectivity to the hinterland ensure consistent vessel calling patterns from bulk carriers, tankers, and container feeders on regional and deep-sea trades.
