OVERVIEW
Introduction to the project
Visakhapatnam Port is one of the major Indian port located on the east coast
of India. Based on the vision and future cargo traffic demands of the port, this
study focuses on effective development of Land Use plan for VPT for the next
five years.
Assessment of the following:
1. Review of existing Land Use plan and Re organising the Zones

2. Traffic projections and any changes as per the Business Plan, RITES report
and the feasibility Report of Outer Harbour Project
3. Land available under VPT and existing utility of leased land
Objective
The new Land policy guidelines for Major Ports issued by the Ministry of
Shipping, GOI, 2014 places specific importance on optimal utilisation of land
under port authority. In context of the new policy and need to develop a Land
Use plan for VPT. The main objective of the study is to ensure that land under
VPT is optimised with adequate infrastructure to meet the forecast traffic in
the coming years.
Scope of work
Key elements of Land Use plan as per the scope of work as mentioned in the
Tender:

Preparation of Land Use plan for next five years in co-ordination with
Visakhapatnam Port Officials
Identification of available land about Acs.754.00cts. for allocation to port

users on short term / long term lease or licence basis
Preparation of detailed Land Use plan covering the below aspects to

enable the port for effective utilization of land under its control.
October 2015
4. Stockyards allocated to various berths and stockyard requirement for

future development activities of the Port
5. Parking and truck terminal requirements
6. Reviewing the existing lease allocation made to various parties by the port
so far
7. Examine the PPP projects on the anvil and the land allocation proposed
for those projects
8. Collection of statistical data from the port regarding land allocated for
various parties, capacity of storage and the land value in terms of market
rates
9. Analysis of land requirement of the ports for port connectivity
infrastructure such as rail, road, pipeline etc. based on traffic forecast and
other ancillary requirements
10. Meet important stake holders to obtain their views
11. Suggestions on changes if any required on the current utilisation plan
12. What are Ports core strengths and weaknesses, who are the Ports principal
users of land, what are their strengths and weaknesses, how does the Port
compare with these users
Methodology
Kick off meeting
A kick off meeting with the Chairman, CE and key personnels from VPT will
be undertaken to understand there vision and requirements related to Land
Use planning. The Land Use team would present there first cut ideas on land
optimisation and first impression of the functioning of the place and key
issues associated with it
Analysis of existing land utilisation

Relevant data obtained from VPT and various sources in form of drawings,
reports or images will be reviewed to establish clear understanding of land
utilised for port operations. Field visit will be done to review the ground reality,
cargo traffic movement, storage, lease land, vacant land and identification of
various constraints. During the field visit interaction with key officials will be
made to develop understanding of operations, what challenges are currently
faced in context to land availability and future requirements.
The outcome of this process will be in form of photo documentation of key
areas, constraints plan, existing zoning plan, existing lease plan and findings.
Research and analysis

Given VPTs national importance the research will consist of role of VPT in
context of Indian port scenario, wider regional hinterland and Visakhapatnam
city context. Key challenges and opportunities at national, regional and city
level will be identified in form of findings. Review of various reports and data
from various sources as mentioned below will be undertaken:

Developing Land Use plan

Review of the existing Land Use, zones, traffic and lease periods, how best it
can be optimised to meet the future cargo targets and its direct implication
on the land requirements will be undertaken. Whilst understanding major
cargo movement pattern and storage for various types of cargo, key gaps
within the present scenarios will be identified. Development of the new
Land Use and Zonal plan will be developed in line with discussions with the
Chairman, CE and key officials. Apart from that this documents will be in line
with key documents like Business Plan Project (2007) and RITES report on
Comprehensive Study on Long Term Land Based Transport Requirements of
Visakhapatnam Port (2014).
Land Use report
The preparation of Land Use report will cover the following:
Background on VPT, its salient features and key constraints
Wider context
Analysis on port operational areas, photo documentation and inventory
for berthing areas
Recommendation on proposed Zones
Recommendations on land optimisation and change in Land Use
Recommendations on vacant lands
II
Executive summary
The main purpose of this report is to propose a land use plan and
recommendation on effective management of land under VPT.
Chapter 1.0 Context & VPT

Though being a premier port on the Indian east coast, Visakhapatnam

port face a steep competition with private port players especially in that
region
There has been decrease in annual traffic cargo output at VPT over the
years but recent berth up-gradation and PPP projects signed will have
long term positive impact on the ports cargo traffic
The port land is divided into 3 locations- VPT port area, Lankelapalem
and Mulakuddu. Within the VPT port area it can be sub-divided into 5 key
dominant areas-NH5/EXIM park, Port Operational areas, Central/Southern
area, Hilly area and Residential area
Being a land trapped port surrounded by growing Vizag city, hilly areas to
the south the port faces key challenges like pollution related to handling
of dusty cargo along the citys edge
It is important for VPT to look into long term perspective of handling dusty
cargo through re-allocation of stacking areas away from citys edge or
change in type of cargoes handled
Chapter 2.0 Port analysis

the port traffic to grow from existing berth capacity of 92 MTPA to 129
MTPA.

With around 58 MTPA cargo traffic output; POL, coal, Iron ore, fertilisers
and container contributes to major bulk of commodity traffic at VPT. Out
of which around 65% of the cargo is transported through rail network
Single biggest land parcel within the harbour area around 124 Ac. is
dedicated to Iron ore stack area connected to OB 1 & 2 berths via S4
and S6 conveyor belt system which cuts across the inner city area. It is
important to note that Iron ore and coal contributes to around 30% of
annual cargo traffic but consumes most of the land and license land within
the port area.
Inadequate availability of wagons, rail bottlenecks in the hinterland and

poor takeover service of East Coast Railway to Port railways are drastically
affecting cargo movement through rail at VPT
Road networks within the VPT face challenges like: too many rail crossings
and alignments of rail-road infrastructure, shortage of dedicated parking
areas, unsatisfactory condition of roads, lack of internal loop network
Cargo at VPT is stored pre-dominantly in open stack area, storage

tanks, covered transit sheds and warehouses. Out of which around 50%
warehouse capacity under Traffic department is under-utilised
Around 340 Ac. of land under Traffic department is given on licence basis
for maximum of 11 weeks. This land parcel has very low utilisation rate due
to issues around allocation of stacking blocks, fragmented parcels, heavy
area loss under infrastructure and limited availability of wagons
Outer and Inner harbour area consist of 7 and 21 berths respectively, out
of which 9 berths are awarded on PPP/BOT basis that will see an overall
October 2015
Chapter 3.0 Existing land use
Re-organising of stacking areas in inner harbour is critical to land

optimisation
Large stacking parcels in Inner harbour falls under TMs licence land with
low utilisation rate and it is critical to re-look whether how much area
would be required on licence basis in future given higher number of
berths going under PPP mode
Rail and road infrastructure conflicts are adding to the delay in waiting
times
Planned development of CFS and multi-modal logistic hub parcels will

play a pivotal role in commercialisation of port land, hence this type of
commercialisation should be prioritised near NH5 area
Large land area that falls under hilly terrain are unviable to built any
developments hence more pressure on to optimise land within the port
area
Conflict mainly due to pollution along the citys edge will impact the type
of cargo stored in citys proximity
Constraints like airport height restrictions, low lying area and limited
accessibility limits the development of vacant land around NH5 area
Out of 7618 Ac. of land under VPT, around 50% of land is only leased and
rest fall under either vacant, unviable or under-utilised
Land area under predominant use as per data collected from VPT

Serious efforts by port authority to bench heavily on up-gradation of port

infrastructure and PPP operators will see steady increase in traffic volume
and better land management in coming years. Around 452 Ac. of land is
allocated near berth areas to PPP/ BOT operators
The port will see an increase of 42 MTPA berth capacity in coming years as
more and more berths go under up-gradation, this would call for drastic a
land use planning
Present land management and stacking area allocation are not optimised
especially within the Inner harbour area
Underutilised buildings, sheds and warehouses should be reviewed and

consolidated

Chapter 4.0 Land use proposal

VPT should draw up long term and short term land use plan for coming
15 and 5 year scenario. The long term vision plan should focus on
developments of key gateways to VPT, planning for vacant land along
NH area as special commercial use, long term rail modernisation and
re-organisation of land in Kailasapuram area. The short term 5 year plan
should prioritise re-organisation of land within Inner harbour area, rail and
road proposals
For future traffic projections full berth capacity should be taken into
account and land use planning should be done accordingly. Future
berth capacity for VPT is planned at around 129 MTPA, with coal as the
dominant cargo with 30.37 MTPA output.
Key challenges VPT is facing that has impact on the traffic flow are:
High competition from private ports
Type of cargo
Vessel berthing timings and lack of port infrastructure
Availability of berth back up areas
Availability of train wagons
Faster and effective transportation of traffic to hinterland
Single window clearance
For land use calculation it is critical to fix few parameters as mentioned

below
Traffic projections planned as per full berth capacity
Type of predominant cargo allocated to each berth
Calculations for liquid, POL cargoes not taken into account as most
transported through pipeline
Per sqmt stacking of cargo, dwell times, stacking height calculated as
per TAMP and VPT feedback
October 2015
Inner harbour recommendations:

Analytical assumptions for the Inner harbour area suggest availability
of sufficient land to cater for future traffic volumes but only possible
if re-organisation of stacking areas are undertaken with rail and road
re-alignments

One of the key constraint for present low utilisation of land is due to
unavailability of sufficient rail wagons. Large cargo is held on licence
basis for even more than 75 days time period hence reducing the
utilisation ratio
New loop road system should be introduced as proposed to

minimise the conflict between rail-road intersections and optimise
the laying of long and continuous stacking areas
New rail alignments and dump and load facilities should be

implemented
Land swapping with key stakeholders like ESSAR, SAIL should

be planned to consolidate similar type of cargoes together and
availability of parcels especially near to WQ2-4 and EQ 2-5 berths
Under utilised buildings within the Inner harbour area should be

demolished and consolidated preferably near Convent junction
Clear strategy for transforming stacking along the citys edge as nondusty cargo should be adopted with green buffer land
Covered stacking hangers should be developed where pollution is a

key concerns. Also covered hangers has better land optimisation

Outer harbour area

Outer Harbour area should be recognised as a key gateway to VPT and
is the only possible location for any long term berth expansion with
availability of deeper draft.
Fishing Harbour area can be redeveloped for long term future expansion
for container terminal or alternative commercialisation as waterfront
development
Lankelapalem area
Steep slopes of the hill and non-availability of relatively flat land for
development makes this plot as highly undeveloped
Creation of at least 15 m high compound wall along the OB/Vedanta berth

boundary to avoid direct pollution from dusty cargo
Kailasapuram & other residential areas

Detail feasibility should be undertaken for Kailasapuram area as
demolition of underutilised buildings and consolidation of land will
release land for future development

Commercialisation as Hotels, Sport city concepts & mixed use

development can have good potential
Residential area near Harbour park should be retained partially and partly
into commercial opportunities given the location and views like IT park or
hotels
Land can be feasible for temporary light scale industrial use along the
higher edges avoiding river bed area or smaller institutional institute can
be developed catering to the local area
Options to develop as light scale industrial warehouses with terrace land,

an eco-park as an environmental and social responsibility or excavation of
rock quarries for reclamation of low lying areas within VPT can be explored
Underutilised plots
Several plots and buildings within the port area are under utilised as
mentioned in the table below and it is critical to de-lease those plots for
better land optimisation

Plots or partial plots that are underutilised presently are with lessees like
HPCL, CFL, ONGC, Kailasapuram area etc.
Most of this plots are in strategic locations and around 470 Ac. of land be
brought under port authority
Mulakuddu, Bheemli area

The land is a low-lying area situated on Gosthani river bed with back flow
from sea

Total land availability: 288.12 Ac. Phase 1: 169 Ac. Phase 2: 119 Ac. (not yet
handed over) and it would be beneficial to hold the land transfer from the
government for Phase 2 land. Ideal to swap the land for better land based
on a feasibility studies

Vacant land
Commercialisation is key to the vacant land to optimise land within VPT
port area

With effective utilisation of f Inner harbour in future there is no additional

need for stacking land hence vacant land around NH5 zone can be
optimised for special commercial use comprising of uses like multi-modal
logistic, large scale warehousing, CFS etc
It would not be ideal to allocate specific use to vacant plots as it should
be left for use as per market demand. Hence it is allocated under Special
commercial use which focuses more on logistic based commercialisation
of vacant plots
It is critical to develop access to the vacant lands in-between Airport and
north of Meghardri channel to drastically improve the land value and
unlock large land parcels
Land use proposal 2030

Overall land use proposal focuses on effective land optimisation of entire
area under VPT, this includes Inner harbour proposal.

1.0 CONTEXT & VPT
1.1
Growth and future of Indian ports
Ports play a vital role in the overall economic development of the countrys
dynamic and rapidly globalizing economy with a vast potential to expand its
participation in trade and development. Developing countries like India &
China has contributed for the largest share of the worlds seaborne trade over
the years. Growing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of over eight
per cent, the seaborne trade of India increased from 384 million tonnes in
2001-02 to 930 million tonnes in 2011-12 posting a CAGR of 9.3%.
Given the immense potential of seaborne trade, Government of India aims to
double the exports to $500 billion by 2015. Government of India plans to
increase its investment in infrastructure to US $ 1 trillion in the Twelve Plan
(2012-17). Projects such as the Dedicated Freight Corridors of Indian Railways,
upgraded and new Airports and Ports are expected to enhance the scale of
economic activity.
Being a major maritime nation by virtue of its long coast line of around 7517
Kms spread over 13 states and Union Territories, India has an immense
potential for growth & development of Ports in future economic context. India
has 13 major ports (controlled by Central Government) and around 200 nonmajor ports strategically located on the worlds shipping routes.

About 95 % of cargo by volume and 70 % in terms of value are transported

by sea. Table above shows the trend of cargo traffic handled by the 13 Major
ports of India.
Important to note that VPT handled around 9.9% of total traffic in 2014. Ports
like Paradip and Ennore has marked increased traffic against previous years.
This ports are also the ones with recent large investments undertaken. The
following table reflects significant investments undertaken at major ports on
the east coast. Within the east coast VPT stands with second lowest investment
undertaken. Though lot of projects under VPT are already under construction
or in the pipeline, that are not reflected here.

VPT in context to strategic developments
Given various national level initiative which has direct impact on port
sector, VPT has a strategic role to play in this context. A lot will depend on
present land optimisation and future land availability for expansion.
Formation of Mega ports
Looking at long-term scenario of 2030 to boost the export and imports trade,
Government is planning to prioritise development of 2 to 3 Mega ports along
the east coast of the country. This mega ports would be either merger of
major-minor ports or completely new ports depending upon the feasibility.
Given the strategic location, VPT stands has potential to be developed as
a Mega port. The key constraint it might face is the type of cargo traffic
especially dusty cargo, available land for expansion and strategic connectivity
to the hinterland.
Sagarmala Project
Ministry of Shipping aims for port-led developments whilst connecting coastal
cities via road, rail, port and airports. As part of Coastal Economic Region (CER),
Andhra Pradesh will play a strategic role on the East coast region given key
industrial cluster projects like:
Vizag Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC)
Petroleum, Chemicals & Petrochemicals Investment Region (AP PCPIR)
Natural gas infrastructure and import terminals
Fishery Infrastructure and Community Development
Chennai Bangalore Industrial Corridor (CBIC)
Inland waterways development and Coastal Shipping
Land policy guidelines for Major ports 2014
Under the new land policy guidelines stress is laid on the following:

To ensure that optimum value is realized by licensing / leasing Port land

through a transparent tender-cum-auction methodology
The policy prescribes the procedure for revision of rates to enable

maximum resource generation for the Ports and the methodology for
regular updating of the rates in line with the market value
The policy also recognizes the need for special dispensation for cases
relating to educational and security purposes
Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP)

The existing tariff guidelines followed by Tariff Authority for Major Ports
(TAMP) was constraining the growth of the Major Ports. The Tariff regime has
now been rationalized by allowing the PPP operators at Major Ports to fix
their own tariff based on market realities. Tariff hikes have been allowed based
on achievement of performance standards. This has enthused the industry
and the investors, which is reflected in the renewed interest shown by all big
majors in port PPP Projects
Green Channel Clearance
Green Channel clearance for cargo in major Ports as coastal cargo does not
require customs clearance and only information needs to be filed with the
customs. Presently because of lack of exclusive berth, storage area and gates
for coastal cargo in the ports, there is considerable delay in clearance of these
cargoes. The Ministry has given a policy directive to all the major ports to have
exclusive berths with associated storage space and separate gates for coastal
cargo.
To ensure that land resources are put to optimum use as per the approved
Land Use Plan with focus on retaining /attracting port traffic

City and the port
Located on the eastern coast of India, Visakhapatnam

is a port city often called as The Jewel of the East
Coast. Known for its heavy industries and Eastern
Naval Command of the Indian Navy, the city is
the largest seaport of India and oldest shipyard.
Hyderabad is the nearest big city to Visakhapatnam
which is 600 Kms away.
VPT is best connected to the hinterland through
air, rail, NH5 and Anandapuram-Ankapalle by-pass
road. In near future the NH5 connectivity passing
through the city might act as an bottleneck due to
steady increase in traffic and would require dedicated
corridors to connect to the by-pass roads.
The city is surrounded by scattered hilly areas on
three sides and water on the fourth side. Historically,
the city of Visakhapatnam has been a port town
and has grown over the years from a small town to
be one of the major ports of India. Over the years
port based activities have strongly influenced the
land use pattern around the port area. Large land
parcels are consumed by anchor industries based
on commodities like iron ore, POL, LPG, petrol and
fertilisers.
Interface between the port boundary and citys
edge are part of concerns given the level of
pollutions and privacy issues with the residents.
From a city planning perspective the city-port
interface should be designed as a mixed use
zone with port based activities and recreational
facilities.

All major port activities in VPT are

carried through vessel berthing at 25
operational berths within the outer
and Inner Harbour areas. The port
also boasts of the deepest container
terminal among major ports (14.9
mt.). VPT is the only port in India and
first of its kind in South Asia to have a
Cavern facility of 60,000 T capacity for
LPG a mined rock. Cavern at a depth
of 200 mt.. below sea level.
Being a premier Indian port in terms
of annual cargo traffic of 58.0 MMT in
2014-15, Port of Visakhapatnam is the
among the most preferred Ports for
trade of fertilizers, iron ore, steel, coal
products and other bulk cargo.
By introducing new technologies,
progressive management practices
and cost effective service to the
customers, VPT has excelled over the
years. Due to changing landscape of
maritime business and facing heavy
competition from private ports,
VPT stands at the juncture of future
growth or stagnation.

FINDINGS
Key findings, observations and Bigger Questions
1. Given large amount of investment in ports from private and public sector,
changes in new government policies and growth story of India to invest in
infrastructural projects. VPT needs to draw a long term strategic plan for
land expansion, modernisation and infrastructural development to retain
it competitiveness.
2. Increasingly growing coal demand and future coal block allocation in the
hinterland of India, will impact the existing and future land requirements
for VPT. It might imply large land parcels for coal back up areas and would
have significant pollution concerns for the surrounding areas. Being a
pivotal port as part of Coastal Economic Region, can VPTs cargo economy
be more focused on POL, Liquids and Containers rather on dusty cargo
commodity?
3. India is inching towards adopting a full scale operational civil nuclear
power in near future. Would that have any impact on coal traffic
projections at VPT?
Polluted water channels
4. Besides the pollution in the surrounding city areas, dusty cargo especially
coal has higher land occupancy rate and not ideal for vertical storage
requiring higher precautionary measures. Apart from local measures to
contain pollution levels what drastic measures VPT would take to curb
pollution levels and increase the quality of environment by beautification
projects?
5. Historically as cities grow, large zones like industrial areas, ports or airports
are relocated further away from city areas. The city of Visakhapatnam
has grown in two parts around the port and airport zones. Are there any
proposals to relocate the airport away from the present location? This
would create a immense availability of land for VPT.
6. Rail and road transport are one of the important elements of entire traffic
trade chain for VPT. Absence of adequate hinterland connectivity has

FINDINGS
higher cost solutions in the form of sub-optimal modes, higher cost and
delivery times, longer travel and waiting times, unnecessary allocation
of temporary back up areas and a greater impact on port efficiency and
economy. VPT along with VUDA authority needs to prioritise connection
to the by-pass road via dedicated elevated route. Proactive initiatives
between the port railways and eastern railways should be prioritised for
removing bottlenecks.
7. Given steep competition from major and non-major ports of India, How
does VPT strategically place itself in the global and local context depends
heavily on:
Efficient use of land
World class infrastructure and seamless connectivity
Efficient management
8. With VPT in the centre, the city is divided into two halves with limited
access connecting both sides. Surrounding port area consist of hilly
terrains, airport, defence, residential and industrial land. Due to this land
constraints there are limited access points connecting VPT to the city.
Additionally, VPT forms less permeable edge to the eastern side of the
city pushing future growth areas either in far north east or south east
direction. Given this constraint where appropriately VPT would expandSea or land side?
Low quality urban edge along the port edge
9. Pollution due to dusty cargo and type of industrial use within VPT, has
resulted in form of high walls around the city-port edge. This high wall
creates issues of permeability between the city and the port, act as an
anti-social element, encourages illegal use and creates a negative image
of the port. The VPT land surrounding the city edge has issues related to
pollution, water quality and lacks high quality buildings, results into low
quality urban edge condition.

2.0 Port analysis
Port operations
BERTHING
VPT port operations consist of various level of complex activities. Depending

upon the export and import and type of cargo, the activity can happen in
different order. Simply placed port operations can be categorised into 3 major
activities:
BERTHING
Vessel is loaded or unloaded at the berths and longer berth occupancy by
a vessel has impact on port operations. There might be several factor that
contributes to longer berthing time for the vessels:
Slower clearances from port and custom authorities
Lack of modern equipments for faster loading/unloading of the vessel
Double handling of cargo
MOVEMENT OF CARGO
Cargo movement to and fro from VPT to hinterland via rail or road connectivity
with seamless connectivity is quintessential. It is essential that the faster
loading and unloading of cargo from rail or road through the use of latest
equipments is essential at VPT.
STORAGE OF CARGO
EXPORT
IMPORT
STORAGE
Cargo is either stored or goes directly to the port based industries. Storage
of cargo within sheds, silos, warehouses or open stack areas. Predominant
cargoes like dry bulk, break bulk, liquid bulk and container are stored
respectively. It is essential that there are sufficient warehouse facilities and
back up areas available in proximity to berthing areas. It is also essential
that latest technology for monitoring and allocating port areas for storage is
utilised

The Outer Harbour is bordered by the two breakwaters and the inner port
entrance channel. The products which are handled here are coal, iron ore,
containers, crude LPG and other POL
Bestowed with natural deep water basins, the Outer Harbour is capable
of accommodating 150,000 DWT vessels and draft up to 17 meters
Space between the two breakwaters are key limitation of the Outer
Harbour creating bottlenecks conditions. There are limitation on berth
timings, larger vessels have day light restriction
In the Outer Harbour, there are two finger type Ore Jetties, OB-1 and OB-2,
one Off-shore Oil Tanker Terminal (OSTT), a General cum Bulk Cargo Berth
(being upgraded as a mechanised berth for coal, an exclusive Jetty for LPG
, one Container Terminal operated and maintained on PPP mode and new
Oil Mooring facility.
The Container terminal operated by Visakha Container Terminal Private

Ltd., is the deepest container terminal among major ports and equipped
with modern container handling equipments.
The Off Shore Tanker Terminal in the Outer Harbour discharges crude oil
directly to the tanks of the Refinery
With minimum narrower section of only 97.5 m wide, Inner channel is

connecting to the Inner Harbour. Due to the dimensions of the channel
navigational restrictions apply and only one-way traffic is possible.

Key commodities
All commodities at VPT are transported via 3 main mode of transport- rail, road
and pipeline/coastal/conveyor. Predominant overseas import commodities
include coal from Australia, crude oil from Iran, steam coal from Indonesia,
DAP, petroleum coke and urea from China, crude oil, container cargo, coal
and coke from Malaysia, DAP, MOP and Caustic soda from USA. Country
wise import shares include Australia(20%), Iran (11%) and Indonesia (9.8%)
predominantly. Among coastal cargo, the dominant port of origin is Mumbai.
and crude oil from Bombay High is the dominant cargo.
Below are list of key commodities handled at VPT. Though most of berths do
handle more than one type of commodity, for the purpose of the study we
have undertaken predominant berths handling one type of commodity:
Coal: Predominant berths: EQ1, EQ1A, VGCB, EQ8,9
Coal being key import commodity at VPT, has seen an output of 8.85 MT in
the year 2014-15 and expected to grow most likely to 13.5 MT as per the
13th year plan
Fertilizers: Predominant berths: EQ7, FB
VPT being the most preferred port on the East coast, mechanisation of
fertilizer berths will improve the handling capacities for fertilizers, rock
phosphate, sulphur and phosphoric acid
Iron ore: Predominant berths: WQ1, OB1,2
M/S Essar and M/S Ispat (JSW) are the main drivers of the iron ore traffic
exports through Vizag Port. Upgradation of OHC and S4,6 conveyor belts
would be addition to the handling capacity. From 8.3 MT traffic in 2014-15
the full berth capacity for iron ore will operate at 23MT
Other dry bulk: Predominant berths: EQ6, WQN, WQRE, WQ5
Consisting of Alumina, Blast Furnace Slag (BF Stag), Illmenite sand,
Limestone, Manganese ore, Petroleum Coke, Calcined Pet Coke, Gypsum
etc., VPT handles import and exports of this commodities
October 2015
Break bulk, Mixed cargo: Predominant berths: EQ2-5, WQ2-4, WQ6

Comprising of Steel Products, Pig Iron, Timber, Granite blocks, and other
bagged cargo etc. break cargo is likely to remain at the level of 1.0 MT
during 13th Plan period
Container: Predominant berths: VCTPL
This commodity has seen a steady increase over the years with main
imports from Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka have been growing
with significant increase in Coastal traffic. Developing industries like
Steel, Refractory and Engineering units and Aluminium industry in the
hinterland covering Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Chattisgarh will act as
catalysts in promoting container trade
POL products + LPG: Predominant berths: OR1,2, EQ10, OSTT, LPG jetty,
NOM
M/S Hindustan Petroleum Corporation is one of the key lessee for
the commodity. In addition to liquid fertilizer raw materials, the port is
handling Caustic Soda, Styrene Monomer Chemicals and Bio-diesel as part
of other liquid commodity
These key commodities contributes to the major bulk of the traffic through
VPT. Around 65% of cargo travels through rail. The future modal split between
rail, road, and through pipeline, coastal and conveyor system is reflected in the
table below. It is clear that in long term horizon the cargo moving through rail
would be significantly high and it is critical to optimise the rail infrastructure.

Rayagadah/Tittilagarh
Around 65% of total cargo handled at the port is

through the railways. VPT is well connected to the
hinterland through rail network. Apart from coal which
is completely moved by rail, fertilisers, limestone and
food grains are the other dry bulk commodities being
moved by rail.

Rail transport is primarily used for low value

commodities for which transport costs are an important
component of the delivered price. However, apart
from coal, most other commodities are beginning to
shift to roads owing to the shortage of rail capacity
in many sectors. Iron ore exports have experienced a
large shift to roads, on account of the rapid increase
in exports and the capacity crunch being faced by the
railways. Container traffic are also moving away from rail
transport. Key challenges faced by rail moving traffic
includes:

Road connectivity
VPT is well connected to National Highway via port connectivity road.

Presently there is a plan for expansion of the port connectivity road. A
significant improvement in the quality of road infrastructure over the last few
years following the launch of national programs such as the National Highway
Development Program (NHDP) has contributed to the growing efficiency and
increased reliance on road transport. The other factor favouring road transport
is the convenience of door-to-door transport for high value goods which are
increasing as trade in finished and intermediate goods increases. In-spite of all
positive moves there are challenges the port faces and are mentioned below:

The presence of various rail crossings especially within the port

operational area is adversely affecting the flow and movement of traffic
There is a serious shortage of dedicated parking areas and service lanes
which causes traffic jams by on-road parking of trucks
Inadequate width of the road sections to accommodate projected traffic
The roads have to be constantly watered to settle the dust particles
increases the water clogging and slowing of traffic
Inner harbour area lacks clear road hierarchy and loop network
Lack of internal roads next to railway sidings
Overhead structures with limited clearance.
Movement of overloaded trucks/trailers.
Unsatisfactory condition of some roads.
Traffic jams caused by goods vehicle parked on either side of the road,
predominantly by incoming traffic
Lack of amenities for goods vehicle crew
Lack of truck waiting and parking areas
Port roads watered constantly to settle coal dust particles

Storage
Predominant cargo traffic in VPT area consist of dry bulk, liquid bulk, break
bulk and containers. Most of the liquid cargo is directed stored in tanks or
transported to port based industries leaving a minimal land requirement for
storage of liquid cargo. Most of the container cargo is transported & remaining
is stacked in dedicated CFS area in and around VPT area.
There are warehouses, transit sheds and godowns for storage of various cargo
items. As shown in the table to the right, around 10 Ac of storage under TM
jurisdiction stores various cargoes with more than 50% of sheds been vacant
or under utilised. Apart from this sheds, FCI sheds are heavily underutilised.
Most of the dusty cargo in open stack area is presently stacked in close
proximity to the city, creating issues with pollution.
Major dry and break bulk cargo are stored in close proximity to the berths,
except few cargoes that are stacked in EXIM park area. Around 340 Ac of land
under license open stack area accommodates bulk cargo for a period of 11
weeks. The licence area is highly underutilised presently due to key constraints
like:

Most of the licence stack areas are divided into block sizes of around 1000
sqm and are allocated as and when required. This leads to fragmented
allocation of blocks with various commodities in different areas. This
decreases the storage capacity of the blocks compared to consolidated
block allocations
Block allocations unlike consolidated stack allocation requires more area

for movement around it, thus large portions of land is under-utilised
Most of the blocks are loaded by dump truck rather than mechanised
process, that increases double handling of cargo
The limited availability of rail wagons decreases the turn around time of
the blocks and hence more time is occupied by the cargo

3.0 EXISTING Land Use
3.1
Existing land Use
Present trends in maritime trade focuses on operating largest possible

vessel with minimum time to load and unload the vessel. Higher efficiency
of handling vessel cargo depends heavily on modernised infrastructure,
immediate availability of land along quayside or transit areas where the cargo
can be effectively transported and effective management.
VPT port has come into its final stage of infrastructural developments apart
from few ongoing projects. Given the saturation on developments, the main
focus and immediate need for the port is for efficient optimisation of port
land. From around 58 MT present cargo traffic, it is expected to grow twice
in volume of traffic. Keeping in mind this target it is difficult to double the
volume of traffic on existing available land. Unless the port heavily adopts
into modernisation of port equipments, effective land management and
reorganisation, draws long term vision for the port areas and detail out future
prospects for vacant land.
Out of 7618 Ac of total land under VPT, around 50% of land is utilised for port
based activities. The extent of VPT land is predominantly distributed in 31
zones. Lankelapalem and Mulakuddu, Bheemli land parcels are located around
30 kms from port area. Presently vacant land contribute around 10% of land
(891 Ac). Predominant vacant land parcels are in proximity to airport area and
has constraints of airport height restrictions, water coagulation, accessibility
and lack of rail connectivity. The adjacent land area table indicates the break
up of land under various categories. Existing land use plan indicates land
distribution within VPT port area.

Berth wise capacity & PPP stack areas
The existing berth capacity is 91.48 MT out of which the actual capacity output
for the year 2014-15 was at 58 MT. The port is performing at around 66% due
to several reasons of ongoing berth up-gradation projects, conventional way
of handling cargo, lack of back up areas, port infrastructure, availability of
sufficient train wagons etc.
As we understand that majority of berth up-gradations are planned and VPT
will see significant increase in berth capacity in coming years. From 40.03 MT
berth capacity of inner harbour it will increase to 66.53 MT, that is almost 26.5
MT increase in capacity. While the outer harbour berths will see an increase
from 51.45 MT to 63.15 MT bringing the total capacity increase of 42.34 MT.
A total of 16 berths are planned under PPP/BOT mode, as mentioned in the
table below. A total capacity of 90.36 MT traffic will be generated from the
PPP projects only, that will contribute around 70% of total traffic in future. As
we understand VPT is planning to upgrade WQ2-4 in future to accommodate
Panmax vessels on PPP mode and that would further increase the port
capacity. Present berth capacity table below do not account for WQ2-4 upgradation.
This total increase in capacity has direct impact on land requirements and
hence land use planning for the coming 5 years is crucial. Proposed land use
area requirements are based on the berth capacity rather than any future
projections as most of them are not accurate. With modern equipments and
port infrastructure there will lesser land require for storage back-up areas for
berths.

FINDINGS
Key challenges and constraints for VPT
Visakhapatnam port is a land trapped port surrounded by the city, airport,

hilly areas and Defence land. The type of cargo traffic that is managed,
stored and transported has direct impact on its surrounding areas. Presently
the dusty cargo traffic contributes to the environmental concerns for the
neighbourhoods. There is no doubt that the level of air pollution, degraded
quality of water channels, noise pollution and traffic passing through the city
is having a negative impact on quality of life for the residents. Key challenges
that could hamper the performance of VPT are:

Pollution levels due to port base activities in surrounding neighbourhoods

Availability of land for expansion
Efficient rail and road connectivity to wider hinterland
Modernisation and effective management
Apart from the above challenges, key constraints that presently impact the
performance of the port are:
Limited width and irregular alignment a constraint for larger container vessels in Inner channel
1. The Outer Harbour entrance alignment creates navigational restrictions

due to limited spacing between the two breakwaters, this area needs to be
redesigned for future needs
2. Limited width of the Inner channel with couple of bends and curves not
ideal for two way traffic to the Inner Harbour area
3. Inner Harbour width is around 100 Mts and has limitation for large
container vessels for berthing. Hence all future expansion related to
containerisation has to be limited to Outer Harbour area only, this includes
expansion on sea side
4. Large strategic land parcel areas along berthing zones are alienated to
Defence, this results into limited yet fragmented storage/back up areas for
the cargo

FINDINGS
5. Due availability of limited land in proximity to custom bound area, open
stacking of dusty cargo are conducted on ad-hock basis along the city
edge
6. Negative impact on quality of life for the neighbourhood residents due to
air, water and noise pollution. Hence it is important to create a buffer zone
along the port periphery and only non-dusty cargo should be identified
for storage
7. Deteriorating and non-treated water channels with effluent from
industries
8. Predominant hilly terrain along the southern edge of the port has impact
on expansion over the southern side
9. Airport height restriction has an impact on kind of Land Use to be
proposed making the land parcel under utilised
Large vacant land parcels under airport height restriction zones
10. Under utilised residential area can consolidated and land can be released
for development
11. Limited access gateways for vehicular traffic which might lead to
bottleneck condition in near future at the junction of NH 5
12. Numerous rail crossings within VPT has conflicts with the vehicular traffic
with longer waiting periods
13. There is inadequate direct connectivity and lack of 4 lane road leading to
the container terminal (VCTL)
14. Limited or constrained connectivity to the southern part of Visakhapatnam
city through VPT leads to division to city into two major areas
Lack of parking terminals for trucks

Long term Vision Plan
GATEWAYS
MODERNISATION
Every port has an access and exit hubs and the operation of those hubs
acts as gateways to the port areas. VPT has 3 main gateways that needs
to be highlighted and any up-gradation or infrastructural changes
needs to be prioritised for this gateway areas:
1
Outer Harbour : All long term infrastructural berth expansion plans

should be prioritised for the Outer Harbour area, including redevelopment of fishing harbour area
Railway: Around 65% of cargo movement happens through railways.

Future of cargo movement in India would be through dedicated
freight corridors. And optimisation of railways within the port and
removal of bottlenecks in hinterland would be key to VPTs growth.
Parallel to heavy investments around berth up-gradation, VPT should
focus on optimisation of railways. In-sufficient railway alignment
planning within the East and West Quay berthing areas are leading
to unnecessary double handling of cargoes and the shortfall of back
up areas. Investment should be channelised for effective designs of
railways and land adjacent to that including more dump and load
facilities
Roads: NH5 is the key to any road cargo in and out of VPT. Recognising
this area as multi-modal logistic hub is essential given its strategic
location. Port road connecting from NH 5 junction to Port should be
upgraded to 4 land roads. All future lease periods falling within 10
years can be renewed under logistics or commercial use
October 2015
Implementation plan should be charted out to rationalise railway

alignments, optimisation of land trapped between railways, railway
sidings and port equipments up-gradation for faster berth-wagon
cargo traffic
EQ 3-5 & WQ2-4, should be upgraded with modern technology and

deeper draft facility
LAND OPTIMISATION
6
Inner harbour is in dire need for re-organisation of stacking areas

to optimised land around berths. Re-organisation of stacking areas
especially licsence land under TM should be priotised
Realignment of existing road network within Inner harbour area to a
loop road would suffice better land organisation
Residential areas like Kailasapuram, amidst predominant residential
neighbourhoods should be consolidated. Large land parcels can be
released for development purposes
ENVIRONMENT
9
VPT port area boundary land should be identified as green

buffer adjoining city areas. This green buffer area would have city
beautification projects, like beautification of roads, development of
parks, gardens, amenity or sport facilities. The land interior to the green
buffer should be purely identified for non-polluting cargo, warehouses,
and covered storage

Traffic projections
5 major types of commodities are handled at the port as mentioned below.

Over the years the port has moved from conventional method to handle
commodity which has seen significant impact on the commodity traffic,
increasing the port capacity. POL, coal, Iron ore, fertilisers and container
contributes major bulk of commodity traffic at VPT. With the increase in
nature of dusty cargo over the years the issues related to pollution have also
increased. Presently most of the coal is stacked in close proximity to the city.
5 years traffic handled at VPT, Source: VPT
It is clear from the adjacent table that VPT has seen a decline in traffic over
the years contributed by various factors. From a top performing major port it
is struggling to retain its position in the competitive market. Over a span of
5 years, from 68 MT the present traffic handled at VPT is 58 MT, a shortfall of
10MT. Iron ore, coal, fertilisers output has drastically reduced over the years.
Key challenges VPT is facing that has impact on the traffic flow are:
High competition from private ports
Type of cargo
Vessel berthing timings and lack of port infrastructure
Availability of berth back up areas
Availability of train wagons
Faster and effective transportation of traffic to hinterland
Single window clearance
Adjacent table (bottom) on traffic projection reflects that there are various
traffic projections for VPT and none of them are consistent with the kind
of traffic port is handling presently. Given the constraint of which traffic
projection should be taken into consideration, DPC has taken the future berth
capacity as the benchmark for calculating future land requirement. The future
berth capacity data is obtained from VPT and with discussion with the officials.
Container traffic is estimated at 1 million TEUs, considering the expansion of
existing VCTPL berth from 0.45 MTEUs to 1 MTEUs.

Land & traffic related assumptions

Backup and storage areas allocation for the berths are predominantly within
Inner harbour area except few commodities like liquids which are directly
transported through pipelines. Since the requirement of land for storage
of cargo is of prime concern, calculations were carried out for basic land
requirements for storage of various cargoes like coal, fertilisers, containers,
iron ore, food grains etc.
According to TAMP and UNCTAD guidelines for land use planning in port
areas, the amount of space needed will vary according to the type of cargo
handled and its stacking characteristics, but it is important in planning
to allow space for the most demanding cargo likely to be handled. Key
considerations to be accounted for are:

Type of cargo, storage factor, density

Height of stacking, gradient angles
Type of infrastructure and equipments
Space required for sorting, vehicle turning radius, access lanes, parking
Safety factors like sprinkler systems, anti-pollution measures, spacing
between the piles
It is difficult to use the exact guidelines from TAMP and UNCTAD as ground
realities are different, so for that reason as per our understandings, discussion
with officials and data collected from various sources, we have tried to modify
few of the assumptions to get more realistic projections. Various VPT officials
especially officials from TM office were consulted for the assumptions. Key
assumptions used in the calculations are explained below:
October 2015
As most of the berths are not dedicated for only one type of commodity,
it is difficult to determine the exact land requirement for a mix of cargo.
For example VGCB, apart from handling coal also handles bauxite and
gypsum too. We have tried to club similar types of cargo berths, exampledusty, non-dusty, bulk, mix etc. As shown in the adjacent table, in our
assumptions we have considered that berths with predominant type of
commodity

Different type of commodity has different storage capacity. For example

coal and iron ore are dry bulk cargoes but has different land requirements.
Iron ore has bulk density of 2.8 and hence will require lesser land than coal
which has bulk density of around 1

Berth capacity for POL and liquid cargo will be 27.49 MT and presently
total POL+LPG traffic accounted for around 14 MT. POL is directly carried
either to the industry or transported by wagons, leaving negligible land
requirement for the commodity. Around 7.41 Ac. of land is given for EQ10
back up area. Given its minimal land requirement, DPC has not accounted
POL products for the land area calculations
For traffic projections two scenarios are taken into considerations, interim
scenario of next 5 years- 2020 and long term scenario 2030.
All land based calculations shown in assumption tables are accounted for
Proposed land use plan, Option 2. Option 2 is the recommended option
for VPT port.
Few of the berths in VPT are fully mechanised while others have
conventional way to move cargo, this has impact on temporary buffer and
stack area requirements
A lot depends on the dwell time cycle of the cargo and is heavily
dependent on availability of train wagons for cargo clearance. Presently
we have considered as per the standards and contracts.
Presently around 340 Ac of land is under TM jurisdiction which is allocated

on licence basis. The yearly allocation of land for different type of cargoes
is not constant. Hence we have taken an estimate of cargo % stacked in
these areas. This estimate is based on a general average over years. As per
the estimate around 50% of coal is stacked in licence open stack areas.
It is difficult to calculate utilisation ratio of land to cargo because of various

types of commodities, stacking and storage methods, type of technology
used etc. it is estimated an utilisation ratio of around 4 tonnes of cargo per
1 sq mt area
Key constraints like sufficient availability of rail wagons and existing port
infrastructure on various berths has impact on assumptions. Hence, where
possible TAMP guidelines are taken as basis to start with hoping in near
future the dwell time ratios and wagon availability would be efficient.
Few of the TAMP guidelines for land area requirements are modified as per
the ground reality and discussions with officials There are several traffic
projections made for VPT port. And none of them matches with the actual
annual traffic. Hence for the land requirements, DPC has considered berth
wise capacity and land required for that specific berth and predominant
type of commodity

EQ1, EQ1-A, & VGCB predominantly manages coal traffic on PPP mode
while EQ 8-9 and WQ 2-4 manages the coal with other cargoes also. For
calculations purposes we have undertaken EQ1, EQ1A, VGCB & EQ 8,9 as
predominant coal operating berths. With this berths the future capacity
for coal traffic would be around 30.37 MT. Presently around 146 Ac of land
is allocated for storage. Presently out of around 340 Ac of licence open
stack land more than 50% of land is utilised for stacking of coal. Given
the full operations of EQ1, EQ1A berths, sufficient number of train rakes
would be critical to evacuate the cargo, reduce dwell time and release the
licence land for effective stacking of other cargoes. For this it is critical to
release a buffer area on immediate basis for stacking of coal for the next
five year scenario. It is important that the additional buffer area should
be in close proximity to existing EQ1, 1A and VGCB back up areas. New
technology like covered coal hangers with reclaimer stacker and effective
water sprinklers will help to reduce the issues of pollutions to a greater
extent. It is clear from the formula that presently surplus land is available
for stacking given that most of the coal is stacked in license area.

Predominant berths: WQ1, OB1,2

Berth capacity for Iron ore will be 23 MT and presently total iron ore traffic
accounted for is around 8.3 MT. Land allocated for Ore Handling Complex
is around 137 Ac. As we understand VPT is in the process to allocate WQ1
berth on PPP project for iron ore commodity. This will require additional
around 24 Ac. Talks with authorities suggest the land allocation is not
finalised for WQ1 berth back up area. This additional land can be ideally
allocated on east of ESSAR plant and west of OHC area leaving stacking
area next to WQ2-4 available for stacking of WQ2-4 cargoes.

in EXIM park area also manages storage of fertilisers. After full operation of
EQ7 berth, the warehouses in EXIM park area needs to be re-looked at.
It is important to note that though additional land requirement is for 7.6

is stacked in licence area under TM. As per our assumption around 20% of
dry bulk cargo is stacked in TMs licence land. EQ6 is allocated with 8.8 Ac

Predominant berths: VCTPL

As we understand around 42 Ac. of land is dedicated for VCTPL berth yard

expansion bringing total berth yard area to around 84 Ac. under VCTPL.
Additionally dedicated CFS land under CONCOR, Balmer & Lawrie, East
India Gateway add around 68Ac. of land. As per the proposed land use
plan, NH5 zone is marked as multi-modal logistic hub given its location
on proximity to road, rail, port and airport connectivity. This zone will act
as a future gateway for logistics. We would recommend to relocate or
reallocate Sical-CWC plot in western sector area to NH5 gateway zone
As we understand proposals of SICAL, APSWC, Integral near Gangavarnam
port and Multi-modal logistic hub near Valluru village will add land
additional land for logistic purposes. Long term upcoming CFS around VPT
will add capacity of around 0.5-0.7 MTEUs

slots as approved tariff by TAMP for JNPT and New Manglore Port Trust.
Given 50% of land is utilised under movement of container handling
equipments and for smooth operation as per international standards,
there is additional 50% land required. Hence this is taken into

Given the assumptions of ideal scenario of availability of rail wagons,

port infrastructure, storage capacities , cargo and berth allocations, it
is clear that as per the formula there is sufficient land available within
the inner harbour area to accommodate traffic projected as per berth
capacities. The negative figures in the tables represent the over provision
of land.
At present the port is handling at 58 MT cargo traffic, assuming full berth
capacity it will handle 129 MT of cargo. Presently most of the port area
looks occupied and looks a daunting task to double the cargo handling
within the same land area. As per our analysis and review of other port
data it is clear that VPT could handle the projected traffic given sufficient
availability of train wagons, port modernisation and infrastructure upgradation.
With more and more berths undergoing under PPP model lesser area and
higher cargo turnaround time would be there. In total VPT would require
around 877 Ac of land for long term scenario, out of which presently 492
Ac + 340 Ac under lease + license is allocated, bringing the total to 832 Ac.
This land needs to be effectively re-allocated as shown in the proposed
land use plan

Inner harbour land use plan
It is clear from the analysis and constraints highlighted in the present and
earlier chapters, that the stacking areas within the inner harbour areas are
not fully optimised to its actual capacity. One of the key constraint is related
to easy availability of wagons. Few of the things are not in scope our work
and hence the focus of the report apart from infrastructural up-gradation
of rail, road and port based equipments is on optimal utilisation of land
under port authority. Present study reflects that with the same approach and
infrastructure, VPT would require far more land for stacking purposes given
that most of the PPP projects will be in full operations in coming years (EQ1A,
WQN, EQ2-5, EQ7,WQ1, EQ10 ).
Hence it is very essential to understand what is the actual land requirement
for future. One of the approach we have taken is to base our calculations
on future berth capacity and predominant cargo it will handle. DPC, has
developed 2 options for stacking of inner harbour areas. We have taken an
aggressive approach considering the future requirement of traffic and need
of the hour for the VPT port, this includes demolitions of buildings, deleasing, relocation and infrastructural changes. Port buildings near EQ2 berth,
TM office, Customs area, Port operations buildings,administrative building
campus and FCI godown area needs to be demolished and redesigned.
For both the options we have considered the proposed road and rail layouts
as consistent. With the new 4-lane road connecting VCTPL to convent
junction coming into planning a parallel inner harbour loop system needs
to be developed to reduce conflicts between rail and road crossings. With
new berths coming in full operations and increase in rail movements there
would be mounting pressure of effective management of road crossing
points. Hence a flyover proposal from convent junction area to inner harbour
road should be looked into. This flyover will be elevated above S4 conveyor
system and descend parallel to NH yard area. This flyover can also be designed
with a split flyover connecting the western side of the inner harbour area.
Both options considers allocating open stack area under TM jurisdiction
October 2015
for respective berth stacking. Stacking area north of NMDC will be used for
dry bulk cargo for WQN berth with conveyor belt system. This location can
accommodate hanger structure restraining pollution. Alternatively conveyor
system can be proposed from WQ2-4 berths with hanger structure.
OPTION 01
This approach takes into account of conservative approach keeping stacking
area allocation of SAIL, EQ2-5 & WQ1 in close proximity to the respective berth
areas. This predominantly has issues with allocating dusty cargo back up
areas for EQ1, EQ1A, VGCB In close proximity to the city edge and away from
respective berths. This will create issues with pollution and double handling
of cargoes. Both the options exploits commercial opportunity along convent
junction.
OPTION 02
This approach takes into account of aggressive approach relocating stacking
area allocation of SAIL, EQ2-5 & WQ1. This predominantly consolidates
allocation of dusty cargo in one predominant zones. The dusty cargo area will
be allocated away from city edge, will avoid double handling of cargo, with
effective safety and environmental control and provision of green buffer along
the new rail alignment.
This will see relocation of SAIL stacking area near the Dolphin warehouse area
with rail loading facility. New warehouse zone parallel to S6 conveyor system
can be planned for EQ2-5 berths, this will act as buffer with green belt of
vegetation proposed where earlier garages were. Garages can be relocated
near SS Nagar area. Stacking area next to WQ2-4 should be retained for use
dusty & mix cargo stacking for respective berths, while stacking area for WQ1
is proposed along west for OHC area with rail loading facility. Additionally 8 Ac
of land for WQ1 east of ESSAR plant is proposed.
Expansion of fertiliser cargo from various berths can be accommodated in
warehouses north of S4 conveyor system

convent junction
2. Proposal for loop road network to minimize rail and road crossing and
connecting to 4 lane road connecting to VCTPL
3. Flyover above the S4 conveyor belt to divert traffic coming from convent
junction and to optimize loop road network
4. Minimising utilisation of secondary east-west road to avoid rail crossing
conflicts
5. New rail alignments to reduce level crossings
6. Dump and load facilities at NH yard and Dolphin warehouse area
7. Green buffer and vegetation proposed as buffer between rail line parallel
to VGCB storage and Port administrative buildings
8. Green buffer area planned along citys edge to limit pollution from the
dusty cargo by removal of present garages to SS Nagar
9. Guidelines for vegetation and open space demarcation along key roads to
create greenery along the roads and reduce the impact of dusty cargo
10. Removal of buildings in Inner harbor area to optimize stacking areas (Refer
Chapter 03-Existing Land use for list of buildings)
11. Optimise convent junction area for commercial use
12. Expansion of VGCB, EQ1, EQ1A storage areas within the same premise
13. Around 7 Ac. of expansion of EQ1 storage area
14. Common back up storage area for VGCB, EQ1, EQ1A in close proximity to
consolidate dusty cargo in one place
15. SAIL transit shed near NH yard to be retained
16. Relocation of SAIL storage area of around 15.5 Ac to Dolphin Warehouse
area with rail connectivity. This is to optimize the inner harbor area
17. Proposal for warehousing facilities for EQ2-5 and FCI in the relocated SAIL
storage area
18. Underutilised warehouse near EQ1A berth either to be demolished or
October 2015
retrofitted for better optimization

19. Underutilised port Administrative and operations buildings in present
location in-between two dusty cargo stack areas should relocated either
near to Convent junction commercial plot or near Harbor park area
20. Plots opposite Port Admin buildings should be used for EQ2-5 berth areas
21. EQ2-5 storage areas distributed in various location depending upon type
of cargo. All dusty cargo should be stacked south of S4 conveyor belt only
22. Warehouse facility for expansion of EQ7 and other fertilizer berth storage
23. Future expansion for EQ6 storage area of around 6 Ac.
24. Dusty cargo from EQ2-5 should be accommodated near present TM office.
An hanger facility in this zone would reduce the pollution
25. Storage area for WQ1 to be allocated east of OHC complex
26. Additional 8.5 Ac land allocated to WQ1 east of ESSAR plant with full rake
length
27. WQ2-5 storage area allocated in various locations, predominant storage of
dusty cargo should be along west of present WQ 2-5 berths
28. WQN storage areas connected via conveyor system if feasible
29. WQN storage areas allocated in 3 places- North of NMDC, west of NMDC
and west of ESSAR plan
30. WQN storage area north of NMDC should be proposed for hanger facility
to be utilized for dusty cargo storage
31. All garages should be re-located in SS Nagar area
32. Plots north and north-west of ESSAR plant and north of Dolphin
warehouse area should be optimized for slow moving cargo from WQ2-4
berths
33. All main road sections within inner harbor area to be designed plantation
34. All internal roads for stacking purposes should be at least 15m wide

Outer Harbour area
and tourist destination can revitalise the area and would bring private
funding

Limited availability of land and waterfront edge
Fishing harbour a constraint
Issues related to pollution within the city area due to S4 conveyor belt and
port based activities
Availability of deeper draft to accommodate larger vessels up to 17 meters
Only possible location for berth expansion
Inadequate connectivity to the container terminal
Recommendations
6. Land area acquisition within the old city till S4 conveyor belt would release
vital land for port use. Additionally a dedicated road connectivity can be
established between the Outer Harbour area and Port road
7. We understand that any land acquisition in old city area is a complicated
process and would consume time. Option of relocation of city area
residents in Kailasapuram should be looked in-depth
8. Alignment of the breakwater in Outer Harbour area can be efficiently
designed to remove any navigational obstacles
9. Creation of at least 15 m high compound wall along the OB/Vedanta berth
boundary to avoid direct pollution from dusty cargo
1. Outer Harbour area should be recognised as a key gateway to VPT and

is the only possible location for any long term berth expansion with
availability of deeper draft. Any long term investment should be prioritised
2. Expansion of Outer Harbour into sea side would be a financially unviable
option but it should not be opted out given strategic location of VPT on
the east coast and large government investments happening within port
sector
2
1
3. VPT is looking into relocation of fishing harbour to Mulakuddu, Bheemli

area. Given the existing constraints of the Mulakuddu site, it will be less
feasible and financially unviable option to relocated the fishing harbour
area
4. Fishing Harbour area can be redeveloped for long term future expansion
for container terminal
5. Alternatively commercialisation of fishing harbour as a new waterfront
October 2015

Land acquisition of the inner city would help to release vital land for port area.
This will additionally will add better connectivity between the port area and Outer
Harbour area.

1. Detail feasibility should be undertaken for Kailasapuram area. Staff quarter

can be consolidated in form of medium to high rise building towers
with ground floor with commercial units. This will release land for future
development

2. Hotels, Sport city concepts & mixed use development can have good
potential
DPC
Design & Planning Counse
3. Optionally city residents near Outer Harbour area can be rehabilitated

within new residential apartments of Kailasapuram
4. Residential area near Harbour park should be retained partially and partly
into commercial opportunities given the location and views
5. Residential quarters of Maharani Peta can de developed as Medium rise

Low-lying land area at Bheemli

October 2015

4.15

Total land availability: 288.12 Ac. Phase 1: 169 Ac. Phase 2: 119 Ac. (not yet
handed over)
Low-lying area situated on Gosthani river bed with back flow from sea
Surrounding area as salt plains
Issues with connectivity and proximity to VPT and hinterland
As per AECOM feasibility report, it would not be financially feasible to

develop the port presently
Heavy dredging would be required to create required draft
Environmental issues for dredging, open stacking of dusty cargo and

green field development
Fig. 22 Plan of Bheemli land, Source: AECOM Feasibility Report, Development of Satellite Port at
Bheemunipatnam Including Fishing Harbour
Recommendations

Option 1: Hold the land transfer from the government for Phase 2 land.
Ideal to swap the land for better land based on a feasibility studies
Option 2: Feasible developing Bhavanapadu green field port or extension

of VPT Outer Harbour
Option 3: Land can be feasible for temporary light scale industrial use
along the higher edges avoiding river bed area
Option 4: Medium size institutional institute can be developed catering to

the local area
Option 5: Temporary can be leased for salt production use

Low-lying land area at Bheemli

Lankelapalem area

Steep slopes
No availability of land at the base or flatten areas
There are issues with access. Higher infrastructural costs for providing
access till top of the hill
Environmental concerns for rock blasting
Recommendations

Option 1: It would be ideal to swap the land back based on a feasibility

report
Option 2: Develop a light scale industrial warehouses with terrace land.

This will incur creating terrace land and excavation of soil. Given rocky
strata will incur higher cost to create terraces. This can be develop over a
long term period
Option 3: Develop an eco-park as an environmental and social

responsibility
Option 4: Quarry rocks during the excavation can be utilised for land
reclamation of low lying areas within VPT

Underutilised plots
Recommendations
Out of 7618 Ac of land under VPT, around 50% of land is given on lease to
different lessees. As per our discussion and feedback from VPT officials, our
site visits, desktop studies and GIS data analysis it is clear that not all the land
parcels under the leased are fully utilised. Apart from land under vacant and
under process category, there are plots that are either under-utilised or vacant,
which needs to be looked at.
Below is the list of plots underutilised or no information available as per
GIS data and VPT has to look into detail whether they can be re-utilised or
demolished for other purposes. In this section we have identified and given
proposal for key plots that are under-utilised like Fishing harbour warehouses,
Part of CFL, HPCL plots etc.
Please refer to the list of under-utilised plots and relate it with the plan below.
October 2015
Buildings identified in the plan in Fishing harbour area are underutilised.

The entire fishing harbour area should be looked for commercialisation.
(Refer recommendation on Outer harbour area)
List of buildings to be demolished which are under-utilised or vacant

in the Inner Harbour area is shared in detail in following section: List of
buildings that are under-utilised and be demolished are detailed out in
earlier section of Inner Harbour area of Chapter 04
Warehouses and sheds in the inner harbour area marked in the plan are
underutilised and should be reallocated at near city edge areas to avoid
dusty cargo land allocation in those areas
HPCL plot (around 63 Ac.) in Western sector, south of airport boundary

should be de-leased for development
Around 27.44 Ac. out of 51Ac. of HPCL land (Zone IX-B) in Western sector
can be de-leased for development of Warehousing purpose given
connectivity to Rail line
CFL leased land of around 100 Ac. in the Western sector, Zone IV which is
underutilised should be de-leased
Kailasapuram, Harbour park and Maharani Peta are more than 50%
underutilised and should be used for future development (refer
recommendation in below section)

Proposal for Vacant land
Container Freight station (Limited demand and presence of other

operators already exists)
Parking terminal
Free Trade zone
The vacant land are pre-dominantly located near NH5/ EXIM park area
This area enjoys one of the best connectivity to NH5-Rail, Airport and VPT
port
Can prove to be a prime land for future multi-modal logistic hub and
Warehousing hub given its connectivity, large land parcels availability
Large vacant parcels are ideal for large scale warehousing typos
like Amazon, Flipkart
Can take opportunity from newly developing Mindi rail line
2-5 acre commercial/industrial plotting scheme with plug and play

concept can be developed
Key constraint include airport height restrictions, Low-lying area, limited

access to the plots and Meghadri channel
Vacant land south of Meghardi channel should be optimised for

container storage/ CFS with amenities
Recommendations
1. As shown in the land use proposal above, it is clear that the storage
area required for berths would be sufficiently consumed within the
Inner harbour area. Hence a lot of Vacant land around NH5 area can be
optimised for commercial use which might not be directly linked to the
port use.
2. Commercialisation is key to this vacant land to optimise land within VPT
port area. This plots can be recommended as Special Commercial plots
3. Key uses that can be recommended are as below but prior to any uses a
detail feasibility study and availability of interested clients should be taken
into consideration:

Multi-modal logistic hubs
Warehousing facilities( Flipkart, Amazon type)
October 2015
It is important to note that, we would not like to designate any specific

use to specific land parcels as this would limit the options to the market
players and freeze the land use plan, instead the proposal covers broad
brush of special commercial use of the plots. It is important to note that
the special commercial plots are not to be encouraged with stacking of
dusty cargo in those zones.
It is critical to develop access to the vacant lands in-between Airport and north
of Meghardri channel. In coming 5 year scenario access connectivity from
63 Ac. HPCL land should be established with continuous channel road along
Meghadri channel. Possible road or rail connectivity would drastically improve
the land value and unlock large land parcels

Recommendations
1. 15m wide green edge along the eastern edge of the port boundary
buffering from dusty cargo pollution can be planned by shifting existing
garages along the road shifting them to SS Nagar
2. Provision of non-dusty cargo or warehouses along the eastern port
boundary with the city
3. Key street beautification projects of road and junctions along the city
edge should be undertaken. Example: Covent & Sea horse junction
4. Modernisation of WQ berths to avoid manual handling of dusty cargo
5. Water maintenance plan should be charted out with Meghradi channel
and edge cleanness and beautification project. Private developers to
contribute to beautification and channel restoration project
6. Contaminated water collection pit facilities should be built to recover coal
cargo from the slurry and will help in reduction in water pollution
7. S4-S6 conveyor belt should be designed with new casing to reduce dust
coming out of the conveyor
Hazardous goods guidelines

1. The goods which are hazardous in nature, shall be stored at the approved
premises of the Customs Cargo Service Provider (CCSP) in isolated place
duly separated from other general cargo, depending upon classification
of its hazardous nature such as Explosives (as defined under Rule 3 of
Explosives Rules, 1983), Gases (Inflammable / Flammable Gases, Toxic/
non Toxic gases etc.), Flammable Liquids, Flammable Solids (Raw and
wet Cotton, spontaneous combustible substances, substance emitting
October 2015
flammable gases in contact with water etc.), Oxidizing substance &

Organic Peroxide (Sodium peroxide, Barium Bromate, Peroxy acetic acid
etc.), Posionous & Infectious Substances (Tear Gas, Biological substances,
Formic Acid, Arsenic Acid etc.) or any hazardous chemicals defined under
Chemical Accidents (Emergency Planning, Preparedness, and Response)
Rules, 1996.
2. Safety sign boards, signals should be displayed conspicuously
3. The premises should be equipped with adequate fire fighting apparatus
4. The space allocated for storage of hazardous cargo within the premises
should be of proper construction including appropriate heat or fire
resistant wall, RCC roofing, flooring. Such area shall be situated at a
minimum distance of 200 meters away from main office, administrative,
customs office building so that the storage of hazardous cargo is in such
a manner that it does not endanger the people working in the premises.
Further, the open space, provided for movement, total covered area for
storage of containers shall be in such manner that they do not hinder
movement of persons, evacuation of goods in case of emergency
5. The premises used by CCSP for storage of hazardous cargo shall also fulfil
the standards or norms prescribed, in National Building Code of India (Part
4 Fire and life specify the requirements for fire prevention, life safely
in relation to fire and fire protection of buildings necessary to minimize
danger to life and property from fire) or by the concerned State/ Central
Governments for fire safety
6. The provisions 01 the Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling,
Transboundary) Rule. 2009 and the Manufacture. Storage and import of
Hazardous Chemical Rules, 1989 and other relevant rules and regulations
prescribed by the Government shall be adhered to in respect of storage
and handling such goods

Road infrastructure
Recommendations
1. NH5 junction that is the main entrance to VPT is a key gateway access.
Junction engineering, smooth flow of traffic movement and junction
beautification should be undertaken to priotise truck movement in and
out of VPT
2. As we understand, port connectivity road connecting NH5 junction
and port area is planned for expansion under highway authorities.
The proposed road section should be designed with service lanes and
temporary truck parking facilities
3. From port road to Ankapalle-Anandapuram by-pass road, a dedicated port
road should be proposed for the near future given the saturation of NH5
junction and NH5 being a predoimant city road
4. Pre-dominant rail movement in inner harbour area is aligned northsouth direction while the road intersect perpendicularly creating conflict
of two movement systems. With increase in capacity of berths and rail
wagons longer waiting times of trucks will affect traffic movement times.
Clear hierarchy and loop road network should be planned for the port
operational areas, thus reducing the east-west connecting road on the
eastern quay areas. This will increase
7. Closest point to cross most of rail lines located near junction of S4,6
conveyor belt should be explored as main entry into port. A rail crossover
proposal at S4 conveyor belt connecting the loop road along NH yard
should be looked at. This connect the traffic coming from convent junction
to EQ berths
8. The VPT road traffic is likely to increase to 13 MT by 2026-27. As per RITES
2014 report calculations, considering the movement for 330 days in the
year, daily volume works out to 39000 Tonnes and the corresponding
freight carrying vehicles is estimated at above 2200 per day. In addition,
there is also internal movement of dumpers to and from the sidings and
vice versa. Considering this movement an estimated area of 36 Ac. plot
adjacent to an approach road connecting NH-5 and VPT is planned. Given
the long term demand the land allocated will be sufficient apart from
allocation of parking spaces in proximity to the Inner harbour area to cater
to local Inner harbour movement.
9. Present up-gradation plans by VPT for road connecting Convent junction
to VCTPL berths would be sufficient in the near future taking into account
of VCTPL expansion
10. With the provision of Road Flyovers and implementation of various PPP
projects, some important road sections will release sizeable road capacity,
thereby limiting the need for additional road capacity
5. Road section guidelines with plantation, service lanes and pedestrian

routes should be developed and maintained
6. A proposal for a vehicular bridge connecting both side of Meghardi
channel should be undertaken near . This would increase the accessibility
of land on the northern side of the channel

Rail infrastructure
Railway connectivity schemes of VPT

Providing Third line from R&D Yard to DYD connecting Dead end line at
North of R&D Yard to Eastern Grid.
Providing a direct connection between OEC and Western Sector jointing at

NAD curve.
Internal connectivity- 3rd line from R&D Yard to East Yard at AKP.
Providing additional line no.1E of R&D yard & one central Panel cabin
replacing 04 cabins ( ie, North Cabin, South Cabin, North West Cabin &
South West Cabin)
Development of reception and despatch yard at mindi and associated

facilities.
Replacement of 14 lever gumpty by panel interlocking system at NH yard.
Direct connectivity to E.Co. Railway & S.C (Rly) from Mindi
Phase-1 : East Coast Railway via. Jaggayyapalem.
Phase II : South Central Railway via Y Junction.
Development of Railway sidings at back side of GCB for container

handling- by VCTPL.
October 2015
Recommendations
1. In line with future rail capacity requirements as mentioned in RITES, 2014
report about 6000 sqm area is required for laying OEC to Western Sector
direct connectivity
2. Presently the inner harbour area rail alignments are undergoing major
re-alignment that would drastically optimise land availability and rail
movements.
3. New rail alignments along EQ 3-6 berths in NH yard should be designed
with dump and load facility
4. Dump and Load facilities should be provided along east of ESSAR plant in
Dolphin warehouse area
5. New rail alignments in-between TM and Administrative buildings leave
large strip of land trapped between infrastructure. This trapped land
should be optimised for dump and load facility or act as a green buffer for
the dusty cargo
6. Rail sidings to be designed with minimum 15m internal road

Customers view
SAIL, Vizag Sea port, VCTPL, Essar, SEW, Adani, VGCB, AVR Infra, Hindustan
Shipyard etc. forms one of the principal users of land at VPT. Most of the
lessees in this group enjoys long-term tenure at-least 30 years. In terms of
the land area consumption and cargo outputs they are one of the leading
lessees. Hence it is critical to review the land leased to them, issues related to
environmental pollution, cargo outputs and there needs periodically.
Key feedbacks and views predominantly on land use, obtained from various
users during our field visit interactions are noted as below:

VCTPL suggested up-gradation of the road connecting VCTPL to Convent

Junction, as it was also mentioned that this proposal is under planning
Rationalisation of railways
Consistent availability of rail wagons
Quality of internal roads
Availability of more land for private players like Adani, Vedanta for stacking
of coal and other cargoes
With discussion with VPT officials it was marked that the Administrative
buildings are under-utilised and facing problems from dusty cargo as the
buildings are trapped in-between coal stacking yards to the north and
VGCB coal stacking to the south
Many users do not follow the 10% requirement of open/green space

within the plots
Recommendations
1. It is important to re-organise stacking areas within the Inner harbour area
as suggested above as a urgent priority within the next five year span. This
will release immediate land for key users within the inner harbour area
2. Rail line alignments and proposal are under planning should be priotised
3. Up-gradation of VCTPL road along with Loop road system as suggested in
land use should be undertaken
4. More dump and load facilities should be identified along rail lines
5. Simplification of procedures and need for single window service
October 2015
6. Pollutions levels should regularly checked and new sprinklers should be

allocated along the periphery of the stack areas rather than at the centre
91
4.26
Organisation structure
Land recourse management is key for successful optimisation of land under

VPT. It is evident that VPT comprises of various departments like roads,
flyovers, traffic etc. and an effective intercommunication between the
departments in developing and regularly updating the land use plan is
crucial.
Existing strength in Planning Unit of Estate Division is as follows:
Senior Planner
With a masters degree, minimum 15 years of experience

Should have undertaken atleast 5 large scale planning projects
Would co-ordinate developments related to land, infrastructure,

environment and future planning for the port land between key
departments
Appointed directly under Chief Engineers supervision
Sr. Asst. Estate manager-1 No(Presently vacant)
Asst. Engineers-2 Nos
Jr. Engineer-2 Nos.
Dy. Inspector of Survey- 1 No.
Assistant planner
Support and co-ordination with the senior planner
S.Khallasis-2 Nos.
Atleast 5 years of experience in planning projects
Proficient in GIS, Cad based platform
Responsible to regularly update land use
The present planning unit under estate division post vacant especially the Sr.
Assistant Estate manager should be filled. In order to effectively manage the
land and to establish a corporate planning capability of its land it is crucial that
present estate division post should be fully occupied and assistant and junior
staff be well trained in GIS, cad based software platform.
Presently GIS based platform across the departments is used. This should be
made compulsory with regular training for the departments should be rolled
out. The present estate division do not have the experience or qualification in
dealing with land use and infrastructure related planning issues. Therefore it is
crucial to hire professionals with specific background for the post of:

5.0 ZONING PROPOSAL
5.1
Existing zones
The total land under VPT is de-marked into 15 zones

and 16 sub-zones categories. The present zones might
been de-marked based on original land ownership
records, key geographical or infrastructure features.
The way port operates in todays time and the zoning
pattern do not co-relate. There are several accounts
of lessees which partly falls under one zone and
partly under another zones. This has impact on the
land valuation. Hence it is essential that the zoning
areas needs to rationalised and needs to be reduced
in numbers. Areas allocated as per different zones are
mentioned in the table.
Zone wise area extent (In Acres), Source: VPT
There has to be parameters on which the zones needs

to be re-looked at. Below are the set of parameter on
which zones should be de-marked:
Berthing and port area proximity

Kind of infrastructure provided- rail, road
Natural features-land divided by physical features

like canals, hills, underlined areas, areas under
water coagulation, polluted land
Predominant use-zones with large land parcels

under predominant uses like port based
industries, activities and land use
Long term lease periods- leased land for over 30

years
Division on simple orientation: North-South-EastWest

Proposed Zonal plan
Given the need to re-organise the present zoning pattern on a rationale based
parameters, the proposed Zonal plan focuses on merger of various existing
zones. Based on the parameters as mentioned below, out of total 31 zones in
VPT, the zoning divisions are reduced to around 11 total zones. Out of which 9
zones are distributed within VPT port area.
Constraints with Existing zoning

Total 31 zones- too many to manage
Lot of lessees fall partly under both zones
Division of zones might be based on revenue boundaries
Proposed Zones

Purpose of zoning is to mark areas and develop appropriate valuation
Idea behind reducing the zones is to simply zoning process and area
distribution
Purpose is to also simplify land valuation
Zoning is partly based on pre-dominant uses in the port area
Zones organised based on principles of similar type of uses, infrastructure,

berth area proximity, type and quality of land, lease periods
October 2015
In total there are 12 zones proposed (Including sub-zones Z1A,B)

Port Area: Z1-Z9
Outside port area: Z10, Z11
Z1A, Z1B, Z2: This zone is dominated by port operational areas consisting
of inner and outer harbour - This area can be pre-dominantly classified as
service and commercial based land use
Z3: This zone is a hilly area south of the port. This is dominated by hilly
terrain and least utilized land in the port area
Z4: Called as western sector, almost most of the industries, warehouses

and long term lessees falls under this zone.
Z5: Zoned by natural feature like Meghadri channel, the zone north of
channel is less accessible with height restricted constraints from airport is
allocated as Z5
Z6: Areas having direct access from NH5/NH16 or in proximity to NH5 is

best suited to optimise infrastructure. This is marked for future use like
Multi-modal logistic and warehousing hub
Z7: Least operational zone in terms of access, shape, connectivity to port

and trapped between other land ownership
Z8, Z9: Predominantly consist of residential area around Kailasapuram,

Mahrani peta & Harbour park. Land use wise also it is consistent to be
called under predominantly residential zone
Z10, Z11: Bheemli and Lankelapalem spread around Visakhapatnam are

denoted as two separate zones,
