Buoyant
International container trade and growth in container
traffic in India at a CAGR of 14 percent during the last
decade has led to a trend towards agglomeration (increased
vessel sizes on order). This necessitates the establishment
of an international transshipment terminal close to southern
tip of Indian peninsula and the proposed terminal will be
ideal for attracting mother vessels ranging from Post
Panamax to Malacca-max in a phased manner.
Detailed traffic assessment study indicates that Vizhinjam
could be configured to meet these transshipment requirements
of the region.
A container shipment economic study has further established
the above for routing of containers economically.
A Futuristic Regional Hub
Water depth of 16m to be increased to 18.7m in phased
manner, at berth, would allow vessel sizes upto 12000 TEUs.
This together with a design capacity of 1.8 million TEUs
going upto 5.3 million TEUs would serve the transshipment
needs of the region. The initial project cost enveloping
state-of-the-art facilities and equipment is estimated to be
INR 23.9 billion (approximately US$ 580 million)
