Key Features of Vizhinjam Seaport

  • Strategic Location:

    Close to the international shipping route, just 10 nautical miles from the world’s busiest east-west shipping corridor.

  • Natural Depth

    One of the deepest ports in India with a natural draft of around 18-20 meters, allowing large container ships to dock without extensive dredging.

  • Transshipment Hub

    Expected to compete with global ports like Colombo (Sri Lanka), Singapore, and Dubai by handling transshipment cargo.

  • Minimal Maintenance:

    Due to its natural depth, maintenance dredging is minimal, reducing operational costs.

  • Multi-Cargo Handling:

    Capable of handling container ships, bulk cargo, and other specialized vessels.

  • Reduced Logistics Cost:

    Can significantly reduce India’s dependence on foreign ports for transshipment, lowering import/export costs.
