AUS40 supply at Krishnapatnam
Krishnapatnam is a privately operated deep-water port on the Andhra Pradesh coast in the Nellore district, handling dry bulk and general cargo at berths built for larger vessels.
Give the berth and the expected working period. The port sits away from the nearest city, so road movement needs planning rather than a same-day arrangement.
What decides feasibility at Krishnapatnam
The port sits away from the nearest large town, and that distance is the practical constraint. A road movement to Krishnapatnam is planned rather than improvised, so a requirement raised on the day of arrival is much harder to meet than the same requirement raised when the call is fixed.
Confirm these before the enquiry:
- The berth and the expected working period.
- Operator access, pass and escort requirements.
- The agent handling the call and who signs for the delivery.
- The earliest and latest times the vessel can receive.
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.
For Krishnapatnam, identify the working terminal and berth before planning the road route. Where shore access or receiving space is unavailable, request a barge assessment tied to the vessel’s location and cargo window.
For this call: Berth allocation; vehicle and hose or lifting access; permission for a supply craft and approved transfer equipment.
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
Confirm the requirement as soon as the call is fixed. The road movement is the long part of the plan and it cannot be compressed.

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.
Krishnapatnam: common questions
How much notice does Krishnapatnam need?
More than a port on the edge of a city. The road movement has to be planned, so confirm the requirement as soon as the call is fixed rather than after arrival.
Is Krishnapatnam near Chennai?
It is on the Andhra Pradesh coast north of Chennai, but it is a separate port with its own access. Do not plan a Krishnapatnam call against a Chennai arrangement.
Can bulk transfer be received there?
That depends on the berth and the receiving arrangement, so it is confirmed for the specific call. Say what format you want and the options can be assessed against the berth.
