On the east coast of India, Krishnapatnam Port is slowly and steadily emerging as a hub for edible oil refineries. The port has become more evident from the fact that there are over seven companies setting up their refineries near the port and a few more are likely to finalise their plans soon.
The port has attained the status of preferred port among the edible oil producers in the country due to the dedicated and quality infrastructure. The port has laid a direct pipeline without any branches with complete isolation system to the plants directly, to unload edible oils from the vessels to the storage tanks in the plants.
Krishnapatnam port has provided a dedicated berth for edible oil ships.
