Krishnapatnam Port, Deep-water port in Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh, India
Krishnapatnam Port is a deep-water facility in Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh, with 14 berths that handle containers, bulk cargo, and liquid materials. The mechanized systems allow these different cargo types to be processed and loaded efficiently.
The facility started operations in 2008 under private management. In 2021, Adani Ports took over full ownership and has since led the facility's development.
The port has transformed the local community by creating jobs in maritime work and teaching people new skills in handling ships and cargo. These changes continue to shape how people in the area work and live today.
The facility operates round the clock and connects directly to National Highway 16 and the Chennai-Kolkata railway line. This enables quick and easy connections for cargo movement.
The facility can handle large cargo ships throughout the year, including vessels that normally dock at only a few ports. This makes it an important hub for international trade in this region.
