- Since commencing operations on December 3, 2024, Vizhinjam Port has processed more than 280 ships and managed 600,000 TEUs, featuring a state-of-the-art AI-powered vessel traffic management system.

- The port’s inauguration signals expected growth in maritime trade, investment, and economic benefits for Kerala, with planned expansions to triple capacity by 2028 under continued public-private funding.
