Service 01
Ship Repairs
Aasutosh Marine provides ship repair in Gangavaram Port at all 9 AGPL berths, covering the mechanised coal import berths, multipurpose berths, container terminal, mechanised mineral export berth and the outer anchorage in the Bay of Bengal. Gangavaram's deep-draft berths accommodate Super Capesize vessels of 200,000 DWT with very short turnaround times.

Our certified diving team provides underwater hull cleaning Gangavaram at AGPL berths and at the outer anchorage in the Bay of Bengal, subject to confirmed port authority permission, vessel condition, Bay of Bengal sea state and specific operational approval from flag state and P&I club. Gangavaram's deep-water berths provide favourable conditions for underwater work alongside the mechanised bulk berths year round. Full inspection reports with underwater photographs are issued on completion.

Service 03
Port State Control Assistance
Super Capesize and Capesize bulk carriers on international coal and iron ore routes calling at Gangavaram Port are regularly inspected under Indian Ocean MOU PSC.

We provide PSC assistance at Gangavaram Port from pre-arrival, reviewing deficiency records before the vessel arrives at the Gangavaram approach and coordinating all rectification before the PSCO boards at the AGPL berth near Visakhapatnam.
- Pre-inspection vessel preparation
- SOLAS documentation compliance review

Port overview
About Gangavaram Port
Gangavaram Port is a deep-water, all-weather, multi-cargo commercial port located near Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, on the Bay of Bengal. Operated by Adani Gangavaram Port Limited (AGPL), a subsidiary of APSEZ, the port began commercial operations in July 2009 under a public-private partnership model. Its Phase II expansion, completed in 2016, increased the port to nine berths with an installed cargo capacity of 64 million tonnes per annum.
The port is known for its deep draft, with berth depths of up to 19.5 metres, allowing it to handle large vessels of up to 200,000 DWT without lightering. Its facilities include coal import berths, multipurpose berths, a container terminal and mechanised export berths. It also offers extensive storage, conveyor systems, rail connectivity and road access through NH-16, supporting the movement of coal, iron ore, bauxite, fertilisers, steel and other cargo.
Gangavaram Port continues to expand its cargo-handling capabilities and connectivity. In FY 2025-26, it recorded strong vessel-handling performance and new container throughput records. In February 2026, APSEZ signed an MoU with NMDC and Vale S.A. to develop an integrated iron ore blending facility and dedicated SEZ, with future capacity expected to reach around 75 MMT and support Valemax vessels. Visakhapatnam International Airport, around 15–20 km away, provides an additional gateway for urgent logistics and spare parts.
