Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan inaugurated the trial run of the highly anticipated Vizhinjam International Seaport, marking a pivotal moment for India’s maritime infrastructure. He praised the project as a testament to successful efforts against international lobbying and expressed optimism about its impact on economic growth.
The port is capable to handle the world’s largest ships. The trial run began on July 12, the port would soon commence full operational activities and has the potential to become a major player in global commercial operations.
The first container vessel, m.v. “San Fernando,” arrived on July 11 and was warmly received. The port is projected to be commissioned between September and October, becoming India’s first semi-automated port equipped with cutting-edge technology. The port aims to enhance efficiency through international standards for dwell times, vessel turnaround, berth productivity, vehicle service time, and crane productivity.
The Vizhinjam International Seaport is set to significantly enhance India’s maritime trade and economic growth, further elevating Kerala’s position on the global economic stage.
