Adani Group's Vizhinjam Port in Kerala has received approval to operate as India's first transshipment port, facilitating the transfer of cargo between ships. The shipping ministry's nod allows customs to establish an office at the port. The project, started in 2015, aims to tap into India's transshipment cargo, which is currently handled by foreign ports like Colombo. Vizhinjam Port's advanced infrastructure can handle large vessels, with an initial capacity of one million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), set to expand in subsequent phases.
