B.ARCH THESIS
BY- HARI KILLADA, UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF Dr. DEVARSHI CHAURASIAINTRODUCTION TO TYPOLOGY:ASSEMBLY BUILDINGS
A multi-purpose terminal that acts as a seasonal cruise terminal and container cargo terminal in the city of visakhapatnam, It has a unique building typology and at one point it acts as a gateway to the city.The idea of this design helps to bring socioeconomic benefits by using the maximum efficiency of the port area.
WHY THIS PROJECT?
As there is a great potential for cruise tourism in the city of visakhapatnam, a new proposal has been conceived to develop a cruise cum coastal container cargo terminal by utilizing and developing the unused existing berth located in the outer harbour under the financial assistance of ministry of tourism.

General operations of a cruise ship:
• waterside drivers • apron area • terminal building • ground transportation area • financial aspects • security
Waterside Design Drivers
Cruise ships are frequently classified by size, associated with a particular commercial cruise line and not a more general industry-wide characterization
Mooring systems (configuration, bollard types, load capacities)
Fender systems (configuration, fender types, load capacities)
Structural factors (pier elevation, clearance under keel, apron vertical load capacities)
Apron Area
stevedoring (line-handling, baggage movement, processing of wastes),provisioning ,emergencies
Provisioning door Luggage door Utility doorAbout cruise terminal:
Apron
Area – Gangways
Design considerations: width of the pier, gangway geometric design, minimum walkway clearance, disable persons, minimize obstructions to the apron service area, stability during storm events, fully covered, construction materials, etc.

Spaces Inside a Cruise Terminal
– Disembarkation
• Gangways • Boarding corridor
• CIQP • Baggage lay down
• Customs • Meet & greet
Ground transportation area (GTA)
Coaches Park
Taxi ranks
Kiss and ride
Parking
When calculating the spaces required in the GTA area, the following issues should be considered:
Type of cruise vessel operations
Port-city distance
Transport systems available
Other factors – local, regional and environmental considerations
LOCATION : Visakhapatnam

TERMINAL BUILDING
The terminal building is of 7345sqm ground coverage Acts as cruise terminal for four months in present time and for the remaining time the container terminal works have been programed in the top mezzanine floor of the building

TERMINAL APRON
A 40m by 330 m long asphalt circulation area with a large movable gangway. The apron will be used as container cargo movement with two jib cranes along with the track
TERMINAL APRON
GROUND TRANSPORTATION AREA
The GTA would be used for vehicle circulation when the Terminal building is in use. And other vehicular circulation when the terminal is in use. When not used for parking, this space is envisioned to function as multipurpose space. It could accommodate markets, concerts or other outdoor events.
