Visakhapatnam Port, also known as Vizag Port, is a major port in Andhra Pradesh, India. It began operating in 1933. The port has four principal terminals that handle coal:
- Visakhapatnam Port EQ1 Coal Terminal
- Visakhapatnam Port EQ1A Terminal
- Vizag Seaport Terminal
- Vizag General Cargo Berth
The EQ1 terminal was formerly operated by Adani Vizag Coal Terminal Private Limited but was subsequently returned to the Visakhapatnam Port Authority. EQ1A is a multipurpose dry-bulk terminal that handles coal and other dry-bulk commodities. Vizag Seaport operates the EQ8 and EQ9 berths, while the Vedanta-owned Vizag General Cargo Berth is a mechanized coal-import terminal in the port's outer harbour.
Location
Visakhapatnam Port is located on the east coast of India in the state of Andhra Pradesh, along the Bay of Bengal.
