Double‑banking is a specialized marine operation in which one vessel is berthed alongside another one to allow simultaneous cargo operations. It requires precise planning, dedicated infrastructure, and skilled manpower. Only a limited number of ports in India possess the technical capability and operational readiness to perform safe double‑banking. This capability enhances operational efficiency, relieves congestion, and supports environmental objectives, positioning AKPL as a reliable and high‑capacity port for bulk liquid cargo operations.

“The Adani Krishnapatnam Port Limited has deployed the specialized infrastructure and equipment besides training personnel to ensure safe and efficient double‑banking operations. The successful double‑banking of MT AU Libra alongside MT Spica underscores Adani Krishnapatnam Port Limited’s advanced marine capabilities and its strategic investments in infrastructure and manpower.”

Adani Krishnapatnam Port Limited management said that the double‑banking would increase berth utilization and reduces vessel turnaround time, enabling quicker discharge and departure. Shorter port stays translate into reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions from auxiliary engines, supporting the port’s environmental performance.
