1.0. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT) is keen to explore the possibility of augmenting the
POL handling capacity at the western arm, Inner harbour facilities. Department of Ocean
Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) has been asked to conduct
the technical feasibility and assess the economic viability for improving the capacity
utilization of OR-I & OR-II (shown in fig 3.3).
This final report contains the findings of the study. This report contains the description of
assessments carried out and highlights the key aspects of the technical feasibility and
economic viability of the proposed development.
Improving the capacity utilization of existing port structures is a well-accepted practice in
modernize seaports. Existing liquid cargo handling berths in lagoon type artificial
harbour mainly deals with constrain related to inadequacy of berthing structures, channel
width and channel depth to handle larger size vessels.
Existing OR-I & OR-II forms the Oil Wharf in the western arm having a total length
366m and dredge depth of (-) 10.7m is capable of receiving up to 40,000 DWT vessels,
which is currently handling annual throughput of 3.28 million tonnes. The design vessel
dimensions of existing OR-I & OR-II is of length 195 m, 32.2m beam and -10.06m draft
OR-I & OR-II has a width of 32m consisting of a 9m width monolith berthing structure.
The 12m wide oil pipeline trench is located 32m from the berthing face of the oil wharf.
There are about 7 pipe lines including fire fighting line for about 7m outside the pipeline
trench (shown in fig 7.3).
Now, VPT wishes to handle panamax size vessels in the western arm. Therefore, new
structure needs to be constructed to berth proposed larger size vessels. The design vessel
given by VPT for this study is 85,000 DWT with a draft of 14.5m.
The consultants have considered the mandate of this proposed development and after
assessing the aspects of the existing infrastructure, it is found that the strengthening of the
existing OR-I & OR-II is not technically feasible to handle the design vessel.
8
The availability of channel width is inadequate to handle higher capacity vessels and
therefore the berthing line of the proposed new structure has been offset by 12m towards
the pipeline. The existing OR-I & OR-II are to be completely dismantled and new
structure of width 15m will be constructed.
The current share of western arm POL handling facility (OR-1& OR-II) is about 26% of
the total POL volumes of 14.6 MTPA handled at VPT. The improvement in the capacity
utilization of OR-I & OR-II will result a new 606 m facility with 9.81 MTPA throughput
able to handle one panamax size and one handymax size vessel at a time retaining the
cargo share of western arm.
The existing pipeline trench and pipelines outside the trench need to be realigned to
accommodate the proposed development.
Key findings of the study are concluded as follows:
There is potential to develop the existing oil wharf consisting of OR-1 & OR-II to
handle more POL cargo by creating new deep draft facility by reconstructing in
stages at an estimated cost of 193.31 Crs.
Revenue generated from handling the projected increased POL cargo volumes of
6.5MTPA in 2020, 7.59 MTPA in 2025, and 13.57 MTPA in 2035 respectively
from VPT specific secondary traffic study data at the oil wharf is found to be
sufficient to finance the proposed new construction.
As uninterrupted handling of existing volumes become essential in brown field
projects, the existing cargo volumes will be handled throughout all the proposed
project phases/stages suggested in the new construction plan.
IITM is of the opinion to consider restructuring the existing price structure in
view of better facilities, deeper draught and also in view of the existing price
matrix being very low. If we revise the existing price matrix, the IRR will
increases to around 18%.
The existing mooring dolphin and PCC structure should be dismantled before the
construction of additional berth.
9
The construction of additional berth between the OR-II and fertilizer berth shall be
executed in stage 1 of development plan as desired by VPT management.
After completion of the new additional berth, the dismantling and reconstruction
of OR-I commences with additional berth length of 60 m which is followed by
OR-II.
OR-II will be decommissioned and dismantled after completion of additional
berth and new OR-I.
Protection wall with length of 30m shall be constructed at end of OR-I berth on
east side.
The proposed development is planned to operate one handymax and one
Panamax vessel as per the suggestion of Joint Director. So the length of additional
berth is required as 180m. Overall length of proposed berth is 606m.
[OR-I + Extension of OR-I + OR-II + Additional berth (ie.
183+60+183+180=606m)]
The new development will have a dredge depth of -16.1 m to handle higher
capacity vessels of upto 85,000 DWT with maximum draft of -14.5m.
The limitation at the oil wharf to further handle higher volume points to lack of
availability of backup space to propose larger development of alternative plans
regarding POL pipeline capacities.
The proposed new development of oil wharf in the western arm has been planned
to augment the overall POL handling capacity, in line with the projected POL
volumes upto year 2035 as per traffic study report of VPT.

3.0. INTRODUCTION
3.1. General
The Port of Visakhapatnam situated on the East Coast of India is one of the pre-eminent
Major Ports of the country. The Port has two harbour basins viz., the Inner Harbour and the
Outer Harbour. Presently, the inner harbour can accommodate Panamax vessels having LOA
of 230 m, 32.5 m beam and 14.5 m draft on rising tide of 0.8 m. The outer harbour on the
other hand, can accommodate vessels up to 200,000 DWT size with draft up to 18.10 meters
on rising tide of 0.5 m. At present the Port has completed a number of developmental
schemes which include, deepening of outer harbour channel and turning circle to cater to
200,000 DWT vessels and deepening of inner harbour and turning circle to cater to Panamax
vessels up to 14.5 m draft.
The Visakhapatnam Port Trust has planned to improve the capacity utilization of OR-I &
OR-II berths of Western arm to handle the projected increase in volume of POL products as
per traffic studies commissioned by VPT.
With a regard to meet its capital cost of the project from its internal resources VPT itself
identified as a Project proponent.

3.2. Need for the project
Development of India’s ports and trade related infrastructure will continue to be critical to
sustain the success of accelerated growth in the Indian economy. Despite record growth rates,
the merchandise trade intensity of India’s GDP is still below 30 per cent. About 90% by
volume and 70% by Value of the country’s international trade is carried on through maritime
transport. Hence, there is a need to expand the Country’s ports in a timely and efficient
manner.
3.3. Project background
The Port of Visakhapatnam, situated on the East Coast of India, is one of the five pre
independence Ports of the country and was opened to commercial shipping on 7th October,
1933.
The port serves a vast hinterland comprising primary and secondary service area, which
includes - Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and parts of Orissa,
West Bengal and Punjab.
In order to realize the growth potential available in the Country and in terms of directives of
Ministry of Shipping, Govt. of India, as per Maritime agenda VPT has focused on
improvement in infrastructure through Modernization of its existing facilities and creation of
new facilities.
The Port of Visakhapatnam handled 56.66 million tonnes of cargo throughput during the year
2015-16 and is consistently making relentless efforts in enhancing its capacity and
productivity in consonance with changing requirements of the trade.
Visakhapatnam port trust has facilities for handling Iron ore, iron pellets, Alumina, POL, and
Containers, chemical and other liquid cargoes. Two berths OR-I & OR-II located in the
Western arm of Inner harbour are dedicated for handling POL products (Import and export)
with the coastal cargo share which is higher than overseas cargo share. These berths are more
or less fully occupied were constructed in 1957 having outlived their economic life. POL
products of volume 14.6MTPA are handled by VPT during the current year.

On the basis of the request from VPT management to Department of Ocean Engineering, IIT
Madras in second quarter of FY 2016, IITM has agreed to carry out a study to assess the
techno-economic feasibility of improving the capacity utilization of OR-I & OR-II berth at
western arm, Inner harbor of Visakhapatnam port.
Market Trend and Analysis
The market trend analysis (Traffic analysis) is attached as Appendix -I
3.4. Demand and Supply Gap
The existing berths OR-I & OR-II located in the Western arm of Inner harbour are dedicated
for handling of POL products (imports and exports) were constructed in 1957 having outlived
their economic life . These berths are of monolith construction with a design dredging level of
(-) 8.70 m and deepened to (-) 10.70m in course of time to cater vessels of Length 195m and
beam 32.2m and drafts of 10.06m. Therefore a proposal is made for improvement of the
capacity utilization of OR-I & OR-II duly considering the existing limitations as well as
future requirement.
Among other things, they have mentioned that the vessels arriving at Vizag Port are typically
with a draft ranging from 11 m to 14m with capacity from 30,000 to 60,000DWT. If the
Length is increased to 230m by way of expansion of OR-I & OR-II berth by increasing the
draught up to 14.5m will ensure berthing higher capacity vessels.
To handle 14.5m draft vessels, the berths have to be reconstructed along with widening the
channel by atleast 12m. In order to ensure unhindered handling POL products at VPT
reconstruction work, VPT proposed development to be in a planned manner as detailed below
during discussion with IITM:
After completion of extension of Berth in between OR-II and Fertilizer berth, to take
up the dismantling and reconstruction of OR-I & OR-II jetties one after the other in
order to ensure unhindered operations.
The proposed length of the OR-I & OR-II berth is (183+183+60) 426m in length
and15m in wide.

3.5. Project Description
The OR-I and OR-II berths were built during 1957 to facilitate import of crude oil for
Visakha refinery of HPCL (formerly Caltex Oil Refinery). The infrastructure facilities on
these berths were therefore planned for unloading crude oil for the refinery. Subsequently, to
cope up with the increased capacity of the refinery and increased sizes of crude tankers ,an
OSTT (Off-Shore Tanker Terminal) was built in the Outer Harbour and the crude imports
were shifted from the OR-I and OR-II berths to OSTT‘. Since then, OR-I and OR-II berths
are being utilised for handling of POL products and other liquid cargoes, including
chemicals. These berths were also utilized for import of LPG, after taking proper safeguards.
LPG handling was restricted only on the weekends, till commissioning of the new LPG Berth
in the Outer Harbour
The existing OR-I & OR-II berths are of monolith construction with a design dredge level of
(-) 8.70 m and subsequently deepened to (-) 10.70 m in the course of time to cater vessels of
length 195 m, beam 32.2 m and draft of (-) 10.06 m.

The existing infrastructure on and behind these OR berths include two sets of manifolds for
connecting hoses used for unloading/loading products from/to ships and pipe connections for
various grades of non-compatible products belonging to three oil companies and fire fighting
facilities. A 12m wide pipeline trench exists on the landward side of the berth at a distance of
about 32m from berth face-line, which accommodates all the pipelines, connected to these
berths with the storages at their far ends. The water and fire water storage tanks, operational
buildings and amenities are located beyond the pipeline trench. Beyond this, there exists a
service road. Limited land width is available beyond the service road upto the boundary wall
of land alienated to the Navy.
The dredged depths of the waterways of the inner harbour entrance channel, turning circle,
and Northern Arm now cater to navigation of Panamax vessels having LOA up to 230m, draft
up to 14.5m and beam up to 32.5m. Such vessels are, however, permitted for berthing
alongside the berths having dredged depth of -16.10m CD viz., EQ 1, EQ 7, EQ 8 and EQ 9,
in the Northern Arm. At other berths of the inner harbour including the OR 1 & OR 2, vessel
having LOA up to 230 m and Beam up to 32.5m and draft of 10.06 m to 13.00 m are being
handled to suit the dredged depths. Presently, vessels calling at the OR-I and OR-II berths in
the inner harbour are of 35,000 DWT size (approximately) and until structural improvements
are undertaken, the size of vessels to be handled at these berths will remain at this level in
view of limitations of the existing structures.berths will remain at this level in view of
limitations of the existing structures.
Visakhapatnam Port have already completed the deepening of navigable waterways in the
inner harbour to cater to the requirements of larger size Panamax Vessels of 14.5 m draft..
Further proposals have already been initiated by VPT for undertaking strengthening works,
for some of the other existing berths considered necessary to enable deepening of the
waterway alongside to cater to larger vessels with deeper draft.
The existing infrastructure on and behind these OR berths include two sets of manifolds for
connecting hoses used for unloading/loading products from/to ships and pipe connections for
various grades of non-compatible products belonging to three oil companies and fire fighting
facilities. A 12m wide pipeline trench exists on the landward side of the berth at a distance of
about 32m from berth face-line, which accommodates all the pipelines, connected to these
berths with the storages at their far ends. The water and fire water storage tanks, operational

buildings and amenities are located beyond the pipeline trench. Beyond this, there exists a
service road. Limited land width is available beyond the service road up to the boundary wall
of land alienated to the Navy.
VPT proposes to handle 85,000 DWT vessel with overall length of 230 m, 32.5m beam width
and draft of (-) 14.5 m. This mandate of VPT requires reconstruction of OR-I & OR-II along
with widening the existing western arm channel by 12 m. In order to ensure unhindered
handling of POL products throughout the redevelopment, reconstruction work is to be in a
planned manner as detailed below during discussion with IITM.
1) The construction of additional berth between the OR-II and fertilizer berth shall be
executed in stage I of development plan as desired by VPT management.
2) After completion of the new additional berth, the dismantling and reconstruction
of OR-I commences with additional berth length of 60m.
3) OR-II will be decommissioned and dismantled and new berth will be constructed.
The details of the project in brief as proposed are as below:
Estimated Project Cost Rs. 193.31 Crores
Mode of Execution Through a reputed contractor selected through open
tender system.
Implementation Schedule 42 Months from award of concession.

3.6. About Developer
Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT) is one of twelve major ports in India and the only major port
in Andhra Pradesh. It is India's second largest port by volume of cargo handled. It has three
harbours - the outer harbour, inner harbour and the fishing harbour. The outer harbour has 6
berths capable of handling vessels with a draft up to 17 meters while the smaller inner harbour
has 18 berths that are Panamax compatible.
The Inner harbour was built by the Bengal Nagpur Railway between 1927 and 1933 to
facilitate the export of manganese ore from the Central Provinces. Over time, the port has
grown from having 3 berths handling 1.3 lakhs tonnes per annum to one with 24 berths
handling 65 MTPA. The port was notified as a major port in 1964 under the Major Port Trusts
Act, 1963. Under the Act, the Visakhapatnam Port Trust is in charge of running the port.

4.10. Soil Data
Data of boreholes taken in the past in the area towards east and west of the existing OR-I
and OR-II Berths and towards West of the existing fertilizer berth was available by the VPT.
The soil data furnished i.e four boreholes on the east side OR-I Berth and four boreholes on
the west of OR-II berths considered relevant to this proposal. The soil data details are
presented from 2010 IPA report.
The soil data in respect of boreholes towards east of OR-I berth indicate that the top soil up
to about +1.55m CD to -2.9m CD is of filled up soil, followed by soft clay layer up to about
-5.45m CD to -9.4 CD, medium stiff clay layer existed thereafter up to about -13.25m CD to
13.95m CD, followed by red gravelly soil with pebbles up to about -14.5m CD to -17.95m
CD, Soft Disintegrated rock and weathered rock up to about -17.50m CD to -23.4m CD and
Hard Rock there after depending on bore hole location.
The soil data in respect of bore holes taken towards west of OR-II berth reveal that the top
soil up to about +4.5m CD to-3.7m CD is of filled up soil, followed by soft clay layer up to -
6.35m CD to – 8.55m CD, medium dense coarse sand with pebbles / gravel was met with
thereafter up to -14.05m CD to –15.78m CD and soft disintegrated rock and weathered rock
are met with up to about -16.55m CD to -34.99m CD, and Hard rock thereafter depending on
borehole location. Presence of coarse sand and gravelly soil layer next to the soft clay layer
and large variation in the hard rock level are noted from the data of boreholes taken towards
west of existing OR-II berth. No borehole data is made available at the existing OR-I and
OR-II berths.
However, types of soils met with during construction of OR-I and OR-II berths is referenced
in an earlier feasibility study carried out by the IITM during the year 2000 in the context of a
proposal for development of a bulk cargo berth towards west of OR-I & OR-II berths It was
reported among others that reddish clay up to -17’ or 5-0m, sand/moorum with pebbles up to
-35’ or about -12.0m, beyond which the description given is sand with granite, which
obviously is close to weathered rock, the bottom of dredge pocket is – 13.8m, touching
weathering rock which tallies with the presence of weathered in the current boring at -14m,
site specific soil investigation is to be undertaken for the detailed designs of this project.

7.8. Port facilities
7.8.1. Fire fighting facility
The Port’s Fire Service Should is well equipped to handle all fire emergencies on the shore and
on board the vessels. The Office of the Dock Safety Inspectorate, which is the regulatory
authority to enforce safety, health and welfare of the dock workers, should function at this Port.
Fire Service at Terminal Should is functioning throughout the year. One Fixed Fire Fighting
System needs to be installed at the main berth.
It is proposed to install Fire Hydrant System, which shall be designed to give adequate fire
protection. Fire hydrant system is proposed at the following areas, which are classified as
ordinary hazard areas.
• POL handling Berths.
• POL Stockyards.
The fire hydrant system shall be designed to ensure that adequate quantity of water is available at
all times, at all areas of the facility where a potential fire hazard exists. Each hydrant, connection
shall be provided with suitable length of hoses and nozzles to permit effective operation.
The hydrant service shall consists of two or more interconnected ring mains to cover the facility,
each with its individual pump, located in a common pump house, Adequate arrangement with
jockey pumps, pressure switches, etc. shall be provided to maintain the required pressure in the
hydrant system. The operation of pumps provided for the system shall be automatic.
Visakhapatnam Port Trust Department of Ocean Engineering TEFR- OR-I & OR-II Berths Indian Institute of Technology Final Report Madras
50
The water supply to hydrant system shall be from an underground reservoir, exclusive for the
hydrant system. The capacity of the reservoir for the system shall be equivalent to the aggregate
pumping capacity of the number of pumps installed and for specific duration of time applicable
to the hazard classification
7.8.2. Automatic fire detection and alarm system
It is proposed to have fire gas detector and an air sampling type detector. A sampling type
detector consists of piping or tubing distribution from the detector unit to the areas to be
protected. An air pump draws air from the protected area back to the detector through the air
sampling ports and piping. At the detector, the air is analyzed for the fire products.
The volatile hydrocarbons handled, when spills or leaks, present a fire hazard, they at the same
time emit gases into the air which can be detected by 3 sampling type air detectors
It is also proposed to have an alarm system which comes into operation automatically through
the fire as detector and the sampling type detector. This can also be manually operated for
conveying fire alert message.
7.8.3. Services (water & power)
Total water demand is broadly classified in the following categories:
• Potable water for consumption of port personnel.
• Potable water for ships calling at this port.
• Water for dust suppression.
• Water for fire fighting.
• Other uses like gardening etc.
Based on the above considerations suitable size of underground and overhead storage tanks shall
be provided at appropriate places to meet out the water demand for all the above classified
categories.

release hooks which are vital in maintain the vessel in the stipulated berthing alignment. The
analysis is also carried out to finalize the no of mooring lines. The analysis is carried out using IS
4651 part III pg 45.
The maximum mooring loads are due to the wind forces on exposed area on the broad side of the
ship in light condition:
Where,
F – Force due to wind in Kg,
– Shape factor 1.3 to 1.6,
Aw – Windage area in m2,
P – Wind pressure in Kg/m2,
The windage area
Aw = 1.175 Lp (DM – DL)
Where,
Lp – Length between perpendiculars in m,
DM – Mould depth in m,
DL – Average light draft in m,

9.0.ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS IN SPECIFIC TO
THE PROJECT
Since the project consist of only a liquid handling facility and not a processing plant or industrial
unit as such, the usual sources of environmental pollution such as emission of smoke and toxic
chemical, affluent discharge, spoilt disposal etc. Do not come into the picture at all. Visual or
scenic value of the area also will not be distributed in any way. The berth area would have in any
case been occupied by a number of unloading arms with latest technology to arrest any mishap in
case of emergency.
The explosive nature of cargo will be kept in mind while installing all the equipment for loading
and unloading of liquid cargo. All the cargo will be evacuated through pipelines and there will be
no handling of hazardous liquid. No portion of the proposed facility will cross the inhabited area.
Separate de-ballasting pipeline is provided to receive the washing from the ships.
The present proposal involves the following major activities.
1. Dismantling of existing OR-I berth
2. Dismantling of existing OR-II berth
3. Excavation of land beyond existing berth
4. Construction of OR-I Berth
5. Construction of OR-II Berth
6. Construction of additional Berth length
7. Installation of Marine Fixtures
8. Laying of oil pipelines of 750 mm dia
9. Laying of Fire pipe lines of 500mm dia
10. Dredging alongside Berth & western arm of inner harbour

suspended particles showing the impacts on marine life
2. Obstruction due to the construction of berthing structures against the natural flow
3. Oil pollution during the removal of pipe lines
4. Dredging and disposal of sediments disturbs the marine life due to dredging
equipment.
C. Land pollution
1. Land based Bored concrete pile involving machinery for boring and disposal
2. Land clearance, excavation, land filling
9.2. Major concerns during Berth operation phase
1. Handling of the liquid cargo in the port may influence the environment in different
ways, through air-borne dust generation and noise, brought out by unloading /
loading operation, the 100% of the cargo expected to be shipped through the
dedicated pipelines from the oil terminal and refinery.
2. The leakage and spillage is expected due to rupture of pipeline etc. for which
contingency plans already in existence to combat in the port. There are existing
facilities available to cater to such leakage and spillage.
Visakhapatnam Port Trust Department of Ocean Engineering TEFR- OR-I & OR-II Berths Indian Institute of Technology Final Report Madras

been looked into about the port's development and its impact and these are given below.
Visakhapatnam Port Trust Department of Ocean Engineering TEFR- OR-I & OR-II Berths Indian Institute of Technology Final Report Madras
60
1. Effect on local Fishermen.
The nearest fishing activity is fairly away from the port site. Terminal Facility construction will
not disrupt fishing in the vicinity in which they are being carried out but these operations are for
a short duration and only affect a small part of the long coast available to fishermen at any one
time.
2. Mangroves & River estuary
Along the proposed site, as per or site visit and observation, mangroves are not visible in the
vicinity of the port. However this issue shall be studied in detail during the EIA studies.
3. Noise and Dust.
Noise and dust have been said to be issues relating to the port's development. There is little
development with a 1km radius of the main port works however there are some settlements.
During construction, some noise will be generated by piling and other machinery and trucks and
other equipment, but the construction contracts will require all equipment to be properly
silenced and muffled.
4. Pollution.
Port facilities shall be designed to such that to treat all barge, bilge water and all solid and liquid
waste created by the port.
9.7. Pollution Caused due to the dismantling of existing structures.
The emission of dust can be produced during the dismantling of existing structure. The other
source of pollution is noise emanating from various machinery and equipment. Even though odor
emanating during loading / unloading is of toxic nature, of otherwise hazardous, but can be
avoided by effective control.

Based on quantity of work element including some long lead items, it is suggested to have a
contract period of 42 months with 6 to 8 months lead time to commission the jetty within the
construction contract of 42 months.
11.1.3. Contract 3
Dredging
It is estimated that about 0.5 million cum marine clay will be required to be dredged in the
shipping channel at the west and berth pocket. The dredged material need to be dumped in
the designated area which is about 60km from site works.
It is proposed to deploy 2 TSH dredgers of 4500 cum hopper capacity i.e, 1350 cum. One
cycle of dredging & dumping operation will take approximately six hours. Based on the
above parameters actual dredging time will be about 2 months. Considering 2 months for
mobilization, total time will be 4 months
11.2. Construction Method and Estimation of duration
11.2.1 Construction of berthing structure
The construction of berthing structure consists of following work scope.
• The existing mooring dolphin and PCC structure should be dismantled before the
commencement of construction work.

• In-situ beams
• In-situ slab
11.3. Mechanical/Electrical/Fire fighting work
The facilities contract includes the following scope of work.
• POL export pipelines POL import pipelines
• Marine Loading arms FO Bunker line Dirty Ballast (1 Nos of 12” pipeline
• Seawater Pipeline
• Foam Pipeline
• Flushing water pipeline
• Fresh water pipeline
• Fire Monitor, foam monitor, hydrants, Jumbo Nozzle curtains
• Electrical Overhead line
• Transformers and switch gears
• Substation equipment
• Oil Spill Containment boom
• Tug boat for oil spill boom handling
The Oil Companies, however, clarified that there is no proposal in the foreseeable future
either to increase the pipeline capacity or the installation of higher capacity pumps for
increasing the loading rate.
Hence considering the long lead time for the marine loading arms and large quantity of steel
pipeline procurement, overall schedule of 30 months is required to complete the scope.

12.0. FINANCIAL BENEFITS FROM THE PROJECT
The financial benefits from the project include revenue earnings from the vessel
related charges and wharfage. The vessel related charges comprise port dues, pilotage and
berth hire. Since the proposal relates to replacement/ reconstruction of the existing OR-I &
OR -II berths after dismantling the existing old berth, entire revenue earning estimated have
been considered as financial benefits from the project.
Based on the traffic projections furnished by the oil companies and the current scale
of Rates of the Port, the total revenue earning from the project is estimated at Rs 39.18 cores
in 2013-14 (first year of operation), which is expected to go up to Rs. 40.13 cores per annum
in 2018-19..Broad details of the above estimates are presented in the table below.

TRAFFIC STUDY
Traffic analysis
Visakhapatnam Port Trust handling 14.6 million tonnes POL during the year of 2015-2016
and the annual growth rate is predicted as around 15%. The port has separate facility to
handle the POL products at inner harbour. The outer harbour deals with handling LPG as well
as POL products. The following consist of POL traffic for last 5 years.
The coastal movement of POL products through Visakhapatnam port is much higher than the
overseas movement.
Future Projection
As per NMDP (National Maritime Development Programme) report of the Ministry of
shipping POL products traffic at Visakhapatnam Port is expected to reach a level of 5 million
tonnes by the year 2012.
As per the traffic study submitted by AECOM report (Master Plan for Vishakhapatnam port
report May 2015) Page no 7-18, Section 7.7.7, at the year of 2020 the inner harbour will handle
6.5 MTPA of POL products. This volume is nearly 26% of total traffic volume. So we are
planning for the years of 2025 and 2035 26% of total traffic volume.

We cannot handle two Panamax vessels simultaneously. So as per the letter of joint director,
one handymax and one Panamax vessels shall be operate in proposed OR-I & OR-II berths
simultaneously with handling capacity of 15MMTPA. In 2035 the traffic volume may be
expected to reach the handling capacity of 13.57 MMTPA.
