The Vizhinjam International Deepwater Multipurpose Seaport, also known as the Vizhinjam Port is an under-construction port on the Arabian Sea coast at city of Trivandrum . Developed in three phases, the first phase is expected to get completed by September 2023. The initial date of completion was expected to be between December 2019 and August 2020. However, due to some problems in land acquisition and also due the impact of COVID-19, it resulted in delays, and is now expected to be completed by 2023. It is proposed to follow the landlord port model, with the intention of catering for passenger, container and other cargo shipping. Vizhinjam International Seaport Limited (VISL) is a special purpose government company fully owned by Government of Kerala that would act as an implementing agency for the development of this greenfield port. Vizhinjam is a natural port near the international ship route. It will also affect existing cargo movement to other ports and will cater to transhipment. Vizhinjam port will co-exist and compete with international ports including ports of Colombo, Singapore and Dubai. From Wikipedia
