Ramayapattanam is officially confirmed as the second
major port in Andhra pradesh.Few contoversies and political fights went on this
port.Finally it was confirmed at Ramayapattanam which is at prakasam
district.Initially government has selected 3 places inVishakapattanam(Nakkapalli),Nellore(Duggirajipattanam)and
Prakasamdistrict(Ramayapattanam).Already two major ports are there in
Vishakapattanam(Vizag port) and Nellore(Krishnapattanam).Further, there are
security concerns reportedly being expressed by ISRO and the defence officials
as SHAR is near to Nellore (Duggirajapatnam) and Vishakapattanam(Nakkapalli) is
close to Naval headquarters in Vizag.And currently there is no big project at
Prakasam district.This was could be one of the main reason for sanctioning port
