Krishnapatnam Port to Receive New Bunkering Facilities as Part of Expansion Project
Chintha Sasidhar, managing director of India's Krishnapatnam Port Company Limited (KPC), says the port is slated to receive new bunkering facilities as part of a new two terminal expansion, Indian media reports.
The project is said to include a new Ro-Ro terminal, liquid bulk terminal, as well as rig repair and offshore facilities.
Sasidhar says the expansion will play a significant role in the region's industrial development, and will help the port become a gateway for trade, supporting associated companies in the process.
In January, Ship & Bunker reported that KPC had signed an agreement with the Government Andhra Pradesh and Petrogas Pvt. Ltd. (Petrogas) to develop a floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification and storage terminal at the eastern Indian port.
