With inner harbour at 10.7m draft and outer harbour at 18.1m draft, the port accommodates capesize vessels, while the container terminal offers 0.7 million TEUs capacity. NH 16 and NH 65 provide road connectivity to Hyderabad and other major hinterland markets.

FTWZ in Vizag — Frequently Asked Questions

Q1.What is VSEZ and why is the ftwz in vizag strategic?

VSEZ (Visakhapatnam SEZ) is a 360-hectare multi-product Special Economic Zone at Duvvada, established in 1989. Located adjacent to Visakhapatnam Port — East Coast's largest commercial port — VSEZ provides duty-free warehousing, deferred customs, and re-export benefits for businesses trading with Southeast Asia, Far East, and Middle East.

Q2.Which industries benefit from the Vizag VSEZ FTWZ?

The Vizag FTWZ is optimised for: steel and metals (Vizag Steel Plant cluster); pharmaceuticals (AP's pharma corridor including major API manufacturers); petrochemicals and chemical importers; fertilizer companies; engineering goods exporters; and food processing companies.

Q3.How does Vizag compare to West Coast ports for re-export?

Vizag offers competitive advantages for Southeast Asian and Far East trade: shorter ocean transit time to Singapore, Bangkok, and Vietnamese ports; lower land and operating costs versus JNPA or Mundra; and proximity to the steel, pharma, and petrochemical clusters that already drive bilateral trade with Asia. For US/Europe trade, West Coast ports remain more efficient.

Q4.What cargo categories can be stored in the VSEZ FTWZ?

Steel and metals, pharmaceuticals (API, formulations, packaging), petrochemicals, fertilizers, engineering goods, machinery, food processing inputs, and containerised commodities. The facility supports both ambient and climate-controlled storage zones suitable for sensitive industrial cargo.
