Hazira is a strategically located multi-operator industrial port in southern Gujarat, 25 km from Surat on the Gulf of Khambhat. The port serves as a key gateway for central and western India industrial cargo — handling containers, LNG imports, steel products and project cargo — with integrated bunker supply via the leading Indian private bunker operator and a major Indian oil marketing company distribution.
Hazira hosts operations by multiple private operators: the container terminal operator handles container and general cargo; The Hazira LNG regasification terminal operates under an energy major; the industrial group and a major steel operator have steel complex jetties. The port's 15-metre draft accommodates post-Panamax containers and large bulk carriers. Proximity to Gujarat's industrial belt (Ankleshwar, Vapi, Vadodara) drives consistent vessel demand and supporting bunker activity.
Hazira is associated with Kandla Port — multi-operator industrial port in southern gujarat, 25 km from surat. Many vessel operators evaluate Hazira and Kandla together when planning Indian port calls. See the Kandla bunker guide for context on the broader supply area.
