Gangavaram Port is located at Visakhapatnam, the industrial nerve center of Andhra Pradesh around Latitude 17° 37' N and Longitude 83° 14' E, about 15 kms south of Visakhapatnam Port.

The site for Gangavaram Port is the best location for development of a modern all weather, deepwater, multipurpose and truly next generation port. The coast here forms a bay between Yarada Hill at north and Mukkoma Hill at south. A creek in between these two hills forms Balacheruvu Lagoon, where the natural port of Gangavaram is being developed.
