Non-major ports’ development to boost coastal cargo shipping in Kerala

In view of the growing importance of cargo movement by sea, the Kerala Maritime Board (KMB) has initiated steps to develop non-major ports in the state, Ports Minister Mr V. N. Vasavan, informed the Assembly. The government has already set up berths and cranes required for cargo transportation at the Kollam, Beypore, Azhikkal and Vizhinjam ports. A sum of Rs 11.8 crore has been sanctioned for increasing the draft of Beypore port, where the Harbour Engineering Department will coordinate the work. A 101-metre-long berth has been constructed at Kollam port under the Central Government’s Sagarmala project. In addition to the existing cranes in Kollam, it has been decided to procure stand-by cranes. Steps are being taken to deepen the shipping channel at Azhikkal port. A coastal shipping service was operational until recently, connecting the Kollam, Azhikkal and Beypore ports, as per a report.
