The port in Visakhapatnam came in the year 1682. The port started handling goods in the year 1882-83. The principal commodities traded were oilseeds, jute, and clothes. The port had the most scope of trade with Burma, and engineers played an important role.
The port in Visakhapatnam is on the East Coast. It is safe from cyclones as it has a Dolphin's nose hill to protect it. The idea of having a port came from the British India Steam Navigation Company.
