Adani Gangavaram Port Sets New Depth Record, Strengthening East Coast Maritime Hub Status

 


Synopsis:

  • Berths vessel with record 18.2m draft, carrying 177,121 MT of bauxite for Vedanta Limited.
  • Achievement reflects advanced infrastructure, precision planning and customer-first operations.
  • Reinforces AGPL’s role as a strategic gateway for eastern India’s industrial and trade growth.

12th August 2025 - Adani Gangavaram Port Limited (AGPL) has achieved a landmark feat in Indian marine operations by successfully berthing the deepest-drafted vessel in its operational history. The vessel, carrying 177,121 metric tonnes (MT) of bauxite consigned by Vedanta Limited, arrived with an 18.2-metre draft—surpassing AGPL’s previous record of 18.12 metres. After completing cargo operations with precision, the vessel sailed out , setting a new standard for the port’s marine capabilities.

This operational success is more than a numerical milestone—it’s a demonstration of AGPL’s ability to deliver high-volume, high-complexity cargo handling with world-class efficiency. Such deep-draft handling requires robust marine infrastructure, advanced navigational capabilities and seamless coordination across port, pilotage and customer teams.

AGPL’s customer-first approach was central to this achievement. Close collaboration with Vedanta Limited ensured optimal berthing, quick turnaround, and precise handling of the shipment. For industries dependent on large-scale raw material imports, these efficiencies directly translate to cost savings, smoother supply chains, and reduced environmental footprint per tonne handled.

The milestone also underlines AGPL’s commitment to supporting India’s industrial growth.

Located on the eastern seaboard in Visakhapatnam, the port is strategically positioned to serve mineral-rich hinterlands and industrial clusters across Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha. By accommodating larger vessels, AGPL enables customers to leverage economies of scale, boosting India’s competitiveness in global trade.

This latest record reinforces AGPL’s status as a preferred maritime gateway for the east coast, capable of handling diverse cargoes from dry bulk to project cargo and containerised freight.

Over the years, the port has invested in deep-water berths, mechanised cargo handling systems and advanced marine safety protocols, ensuring it can meet the demands of both current and future trade flows.
