Ship repair and dry dock facilities in India by port

Visakhapatnam's main docking facilities are the Naval Dockyard, which has three dry docks, and Hindustan Shipyard Limited, which has a dry dock, wet basin and repair dolphin used for ship and submarine repair and refits, plus a separate covered building dock for new construction up to about 80,000 DWT.

Cochin Shipyard commissioned a new 310-metre-long dry dock in January 2024, able to take vessels up to about 300 metres, such as Suezmax tankers, container ships and Capesize bulk carriers. The yard lists ship repair capability up to about 125,000 DWT and has refitted the aircraft carriers INS Viraat and INS Vikramaditya.

Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) in Kolkata runs a ship repair division and, under a concession with Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, operates three port dry docks inside a wet basin, so docking does not depend on river tides. GRSE reports repairs of ships up to 160 metres length, 20 metres beam and 7 metres draught.

A Master Ship Repair Agreement is a US Navy agreement that pre-qualifies a shipyard to repair US Military Sealift Command and similar vessels. In April 2024 Cochin Shipyard became the third Indian shipyard to sign one, allowing it to repair support ships operating in the Central Command region.

Hindustan Shipyard Limited is a shipyard at Visakhapatnam with a dry dock, a wet basin and a repair dolphin, used for ship and submarine repair and refit work, and a separate covered building dock for new construction up to about 80,000 DWT, alongside the Naval Dockyard's own three dry docks at the same port.

New dry dock construction, such as Cochin Shipyard's 310-metre dock commissioned in 2024, is tracked at a national level under the Ministry of Shipping's Sagarmala programme, which lists major port and dry-dock infrastructure projects. It is a project tracker rather than a single directory of every yard's current limits.
