Vizhinjam Kerala's “Golden coast”
The Vizhinjam International Seaport, Trivandrum, handled over 1 Lakh TEUS Processed in a Phenomenal 4-Months.
In an impressive demonstration of operational prowess, Vizhinjam International Seaport in Thiruvananthapuram has processed over one lakh TEUS within just four months, underscoring the port’s strategic significance as a cornerstone of India’s maritime future.
TEU or twenty-foot equivalent unit is a general unit of cargo capacity.
With a record-breaking 46 ships docking at Vizhinjam- including some of the largest cargo vessels worldwide-the port’s rapid ascent is unmistakable. Starting with a modest three vessels in July, arrivals surged to 12 by September, reached 23 in October, and already stand at 8 by early November.
This extraordinary growth not only propels Kerala onto the global transshipment stage but has also generated a
substantial Rs. 7.4 crore in GST revenue, reinforcing the state’s development trajectory.
