Vizhinjam Deep Water International Transship Container Terminal Project

Vizhinjam is a coastal Town in Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) District of Kerala state, South India.Vizhinjam, ‘Port of the Future’ is located at 8021’N and 770 0’ E on the west coast of India and has a number of inherent strength as a port. The Port is merely a 10 NM diversion from international east-west shipping route and is also close to national/regional road and rail network. The sea is 23 to 27 metres deep at the proposed site. This would facilitate berthing of large container ships. As India now did not have ports that deep, goods were being transported on smaller ships to India. The port is supposed to be 150 metres in width.
