THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially commissioned the Vizhinjam International Seaport on Friday, stating that the capacity of this transshipment hub would triple in the coming years, allowing some of the world's largest cargo ships to dock smoothly.

In his speech following the commissioning of the ₹8,686 crore project, he noted that 75 per cent of India's transshipment operations had previously been carried out at foreign ports, resulting in significant revenue loss for the country.
