Gopalpur (INGPR)

Gopalpur was formerly an open roadstead port, with lightering facilities. Since the new port has been built, with two new breakwaters giving shelter, larger vessels have been able to berth directly at its new quay, all year round. These newer port facilities were recently devastated by Cyclone Hudhud, and port operations ceased for two years. Following repair, commercial operations were re-started and lengthening of the main quay continues. The port handles fertiliser, rice, wheat, food grains, cement, sugar, coal, metal scrap, rutile, monaxite, zicron, all processed minerals, chrome ore, illmenite, Ircon, Sillimanite, garnet, iron oxide and general cargo.

Gopalpur is along the coast of Bay of Bengal in the state of Odisha. The port is 90 nautical miles south of Paradip port and 110 nautical miles north of Vishakhapatnam port.

LOA 240m, beam 36m, draught 13.5m, 120,000DWT.

Approx 1,000,000t of cargo handled annually.

Vessels are required to anchor in 14.0m to 15.0m with Gopalpur Lighthouse bearing 245° at a distance of 4nm. The anchorage has good holding ground.

The port is now able to receive deep draught vessels, berthed at the new main quay (depth 12.5m). There is also a dredged artificial lagoon on the sea beach designed to accommodate barges and small craft. A 380m long and 50m wide approach channel dredged to 3.5m connects the lagoon to the sea. To the N of the approach two sand pumps of 350mі/hr are installed to maintain the required depth of 3.5m for the safe passage of shallow craft.

Admiralty Pilot NP21. BA321. US Sailing Directions No 173 (India and the Bay of Bengal). US63310.

Pilotage is compulsory for every vessel of 200GT and more.

Gopalpur Light is exhibited from a white round masonry tower with red bands 32m in height standing 0.35nm SW of the mouth of a small stream.

Firing practice areas are located NE and SE of Gopalpur; these should be checked on the chart: ..... 1. 19°23'N 85°23'E 2. 19°02'N 85°25'E

During a recent cyclone, the port was closed for many months having suffered damage to its infrastructure. The new breakwater now provides shelter from the West and South West.
