The Port Trust has vast green field area to the extent of over 450 hectares at Vallarpadam and Puthuvypeen for development of port facilities and Port Based Industries.

Puthuvypeen site is ideal for the bunkering terminal (IBT) which will cater to vessels calling at the port and those passing through international waters.

The IBT require a minimum anchorage area of about 4.5 square nautical miles in the open sea within the port limit, land and water frontage on lease as per the requirement for developing the facilities.

The development of Container Terminal for a very large terminal to accommodate 5th and 6th generation vessels, the outer harbour in Puthu-Vypeen offers immense possibilities.  

The setting up of this terminal and other projects of international significance would create a large pool of direct and indirect employment, infrastructure development, among other benefits. The infrastructure support itself make the private investment possible and viable.
