In a historic milestone for India’s maritime sector, Vizhinjam International Seaport in Kerala has officially commenced full export-import (EXIM) operations. Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan flagged off the first export cargo containers at a landmark ceremony, joined by Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal as the chief guest.

Transitioning from its initial transhipment role, Vizhinjam now enables exporters from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh to ship cargo directly to global destinations, cutting transit times and operational costs significantly. Located just 10 nautical miles from major international east-west shipping lanes, the port utilizes advanced AI-driven automated systems. The ceremony also marked the launch of 'Mission Samudra', an ambitious project designed to drive port-led industrial, logistics, and coastal development across Kerala.
