2. INTRODUCTION
Kakinada Deep Water Port was commissioned by the Government of AP in November
1997 with a quay length of 610 Meters. The Kakinada Seaports took over operations
when the port was privatized in 1999. Ten years later, the port was expanded to 2,500
meters of quay length for multi-product handling and stand-alone facility for off-shore
supplies for deep sea exploration.
It is located on the East Coast of India. It is in the East Godavari district of Andhra
Pradesh and is strategically located between major Ports of Vishakhapatnam and
chennai.
The Port has several quality certifications including the ISO 9001, the ISO 14001 & the
Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSAS) 18001. It is also an
International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) certified port.

4. OURWORK
As a leading seaport, Kakinada supports miners, manufacturers and growers throughout India as
they sell goods and services profitably to countries around the globe. Agricultural products,
granite and minerals move through a vast network of modern railways and highways like NH-16
and NH-216 to Kakinada where they are shipped to consumers in dozens of countries.

requirements of specialized port users. To provide premier customer service, Kakinada Seaports
Ltd has always embraced modern practices, systems and technology to excel in port
management and remain uniquely positioned as a multi product dynamic port handling liquid,
bulk and break bulk cargoes.
Kakinada is part of a Special Economic Zone and a proposed “Petroleum, Chemical and
Petrochemical Investment Region”. It is a hub to all the deep sea exploratory activity in the
region due to its deep-water sea port and its proximity to the gas fields.

5. BERTHSANDVESSELSINKDWP
KDWP presently has four berths. It enjoys multi-modal connectivity by road, rail and
pipelines (for liquid cargo).
The total vessels handled by the KDWP have increased substantially to 3,755 vessels
in Financial Year (FY) 09 from around 555 vessels in FY 04, mainly attributable to the
significant increase in Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) traffic to 2,400 vessel
turnarounds from 171 vessel turnarounds in FY 04. The cargo vessel traffic at the
port has also increased to 1,062 vessels in FY 09 from 304 vessels in FY 04 in line
with the increase in cargo throughput.
The total cargo handled at the Kakinada port increased to 14.5 million tonnes in FY
09 from 5.6 million tonnes in FY 04 at a CAGR of 21%. Of the various cargo items
handled, there is a relatively high dependence on some items like iron-ore (24%);
fertilisers (19%); Fertiliser Raw Materials (19%); edible oil (13%) and coal (10%) for
the bulk of the volumes.
