Vizhinjam International Seaport is an international deepwater multi-purpose shipping hub which begged Rs 6000 crores during its three phases and as per the plan it is looking forward to develop itself on the basis of landlord model with the lines of prospect which would cater passenger, container and other clean cargo. Vizhinjam International Seaport Limited has taken up an initiative to build this largest port of the world and it is currently at its tender stage and after the completion it will look to benefit all the sea port activity. The Vizhinjam Port was originally conceived about 25 years ago and at its initial phase Public Private Partnership fetched the tender but eventually Public Private Partnership was moved out of the approach and the tender clinched the machine of Vizhinjam International Seaport Limited. This Greenfield Port at Vizhinjam in Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala is completely owned by government and after the series of trial and reading has finally led to the foundation of this bridge which would connect the world within the roof of India.

Beside that it would enable steady work, direct service and many more. The proposed Vizhinjam port is just 10 nautical miles from the International Shipping Lane and its depth which is natural would attract containers and mega container carriers which would enable a steady flow of work. Advantages1. Vizhinjam is an all-weather port, so it will ensure nonstop service. 2.
