Gangavaram Port

Gangavaram, adjacent to Visakhapatnam, is a deep-draft all-weather private port built for capesize bulk tonnage. Its depth lets it work vessels that cannot be accommodated at many east-coast berths, and it stays operational in conditions that restrict shallower ports.

Operational Notes for Gangavaram Port

  • Deep-draft all-weather port handling capesize bulk carriers

  • Operational in weather that restricts nearby shallower berths

  • Adjacent to Visakhapatnam's supply market

How We Supply This Port

Gangavaram is supplied from our Visakhapatnam stock, which puts full provisioning within a short road run of a deep-draft berth.
