Vizhinjam’s Victorious Voyage

Vizhinjam International Seaport, with its around 20-meter draft, is a significant attraction for shipping lines, as major worldwide shipping companies favor ports with an 18-meter or higher draft.

A long-cherished dream of the people of Kerala, the Vizhinjam International Seaport has become a reality. Vizhinjam Port, the first deep water container transshipment port in India, has geared up to receive the first container ship and carve its space in the global maritime trade. 

The port will have to carve its niche by competing with port majors like Colombo, Singapore, or Port Klang. A cursory glance through the infrastructure and technical prowess of these ports will reveal that Vizhinjam has a long way to go.

This port, with the state of the art infrastructure and facilities, is expected to cater to India’s container transshipment needs, as it can handle the largest of the Mother Ships now in operation.


The Government of Kerala is receiving the maiden call of a Mother Ship at the port with a grand ceremony being organized at 10:00 am on 12th July 2024.

Anticipated to be completely operational in September/October 2024, Vizhinjam will be India’s first semi-automated port, outfitted with cutting-edge automation and information technology systems, as well as contemporary equipment.

Vizhinjam is a popular destination for shipping lines, having a draft of about 20 meters. Even the nearby Cochin and Thoothukudi Port, with drafts of 14.5 m and 14.2 m, respectively, are insufficient. The largest mother ships currently in operation can now be handled by Vizhinajm thanks to its cutting-edge infrastructure.

Furthermore, Vizhinjam can lessen the reliance of the EXIM communities on the foreign transshipment hubs of Singapore, Colombo, and Port Klang in Malaysia, given that Indian ports handle about 10% of transshipment cargo out of the total volume of container traffic the ports handle annually.
