About This Seaport

Barges and lighters of 200–300 tons shuttling between anchored ships and the shore set the scene at Nagapattinam, an open-roadstead port on Tamil Nadu's Coromandel coast on the Bay of Bengal. With no fixed cargo quay, commercial freight relevance here is limited. The port is better known today for its fair-weather international passenger ferry to Kankesanthurai in Sri Lanka — about 60 nautical miles in three to four hours. For containerised or larger consignments, the nearby deep-water Karaikal Port is the practical option, backed by Chennai and Thoothukudi (Tuticorin).
