AUS40 supply at Kandla (Deendayal)
Kandla, formally Deendayal Port, sits inside the Gulf of Kutch and moves very large volumes of dry and liquid bulk across cargo berths, oil jetties and an anchorage. Tanker and bulk carrier calls dominate; container strings are less common.
Identify the exact berth or anchorage and the receiving arrangement. Ask the local agent to confirm the applicable access and stores-delivery requirements.
What decides feasibility at Kandla (Deendayal)
Movement in the Gulf of Kutch is tidal and berth allocation can change at short notice, so an arrival window given days ahead is an indication rather than a fixed slot. A meaningful share of calls are worked at anchorage, which is an entirely different delivery problem from an alongside berth and has to be assessed on its own.
Confirm these before the enquiry:
- Whether the vessel will be alongside or at anchorage, and the position.
- The cargo berth or oil jetty number allocated.
- The tidal window the vessel is working to.
- Whether the agent expects the berth to change before arrival.
Berth-side or barge delivery
PROTICKS provides barge delivery where berth or jetty-side supply is not accessible, subject to a suitable craft, port and terminal permission, vessel acceptance and weather.
State whether the requirement is at a Kandla cargo berth, oil jetty or anchorage. A road delivery arrangement for one berth does not establish access at another. Request a barge assessment when the receiving location cannot be reached from shore.
For this call: Exact Kandla facility, not only Deendayal Port; tide and marine access window; liquid-berth equipment restrictions if applicable.
Neither an electric pump nor a fuel-engine pump is automatically permitted in a sensitive area. Confirm the terminal-approved equipment before dispatch. Barge delivery does not bypass cargo-operation or safety restrictions.
Planning the notice period
Send the arrival window when it is first issued and again when it firms up. A window given days ahead is an indication here, so one message is rarely enough.

Send the vessel requirement
- Vessel name and IMO number if available.
- Port, terminal, berth or anchorage position.
- ETA, ETB and ETD with date and time zone.
- Quantity, preferred format and usable receiving capacity.
- Local agent, company contact, documentation requirements, and whether you want PROTICKS to carry out the transfer.
Packaging & transfer
Choose 210 L drums, 1,000 L IBCs or an agreed bulk / ISO tank arrangement. Packaging does not determine the delivery route: road, barge or boat access must be assessed separately. Ask for pump kit, hoses, couplings, calibrated flow meter and personnel if needed, subject to terminal and vessel acceptance.
Product & paperwork
PROTICKS AUS40 is ISO 18611 certified and meets the requirements of IS 17661 (Part 1):2022. Check whether the vessel is specified for AUS40 or AUS32, then check the batch Certificate of Analysis and current MSDS before approving supply. Product-document checklist.
Kandla (Deendayal): common questions
Can you deliver AUS40 to a vessel at Kandla anchorage?
Anchorage delivery is assessed separately from an alongside delivery: it needs a craft, suitable weather and the right permissions, none of which follow automatically from the port being listed. Send the anchorage position and the expected duration and we will review it as a specific case.
The berth keeps changing. Does that affect the delivery?
Yes. Berth changes at Kandla are common and a delivery planned against one berth may need to be replanned for another. Tell us as soon as the allocation moves.
Is Kandla the same as Deendayal Port?
Yes. Deendayal Port Authority is the current name; Kandla remains in everyday use and on many vessel call instructions. Either name is understood on an enquiry.
