Ramayapatnam Port

Ramayapatnam Port is a deep-sea port under development on the eastern coast of India, in the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh. Strategically located along the Bay of Bengal, it is envisioned as a major maritime gateway to boost regional trade and industrial growth. The port is designed to handle large cargo vessels with a draft depth of 15.5 meters, making it suitable for Panamax-class ships. Its construction is being overseen by the Andhra Pradesh Maritime Board, with plans for multiple berths to accommodate diverse cargo types including containers, coal, and general goods. Once operational, Ramayapatnam Port is expected to significantly reduce transportation costs for exporters in nearby districts and ease pressure on existing ports like Chennai and Visakhapatnam.

The proposed project is for the development of Greenfield Non-Major Port at Ramayapatnam in Prakasam District of Andhra Pradesh. It will be an all-weather port with state of art terminal facilities to meet the present and future needs of trade. The port has been planned in two phases viz. Phase I handling 34.04 MTPA and Phase II handling additional cargo of 104.50 MTPA. On completion of Phase II, it will handle the total cargo of 138.54 MTPA.
