Dhamra is a private deepwater port on the Odisha coast, 62 km north of Paradip, operated by the port operator. With 18-metre draft capability, the port handles Capesize bulk carriers and is expanding into LNG import capability. Bunker supply draws on both the leading Indian private bunker operator's distribution network and a major Indian oil marketing company's coastal supply from Paradip and Haldia refineries.
Dhamra Port's deepwater profile and relative proximity to the coal, iron ore and steel belt of eastern India drives Capesize and Panamax traffic. A proposed LNG regasification terminal would add LNG carrier traffic and potentially LNG bunkering capability. The port is part of a major private port operator's east-coast logistics consolidation alongside Krishnapatnam and Gangavaram.
Dhamra is associated with Paradip Port — private deepwater port 62 km north of paradip, odisha. Many vessel operators evaluate Dhamra and Paradip together when planning Indian port calls. See the Paradip bunker guide for context on the broader supply area.
