Rs 140 cr new fishing port coming up at Vizhinjam

The draft design for this project, estimated at Rs. 140 crores, is in the final stage. The new fishing harbour will be built on a large embankment between the existing fishing harbour at Vizhinjam and the Vizhinjam International Port.A 500-meter-long berth will be constructed to accommodate even large fishing boats. The design is being prepared by the Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS), Pune. The project is being designed and will be constructed at Vizhinjam for the state government by Vizhinjam International Seaport Limited (Whistle).

According to earlier decisions, the new fishing port was to be constructed after the completion of the first phase of the Vizhinjam International Port. But, the project has been delayed due to technical reasons. Of the estimated cost, Rs. 70 crores have been allocated for the construction of the new fishing port, and the remaining Rs. 70 crores have been earmarked for the construction of a breakwater. Initially, the government had planned to implement the project through Adani Port Company. However, due to some significant changes in the design, the government will need to invite fresh tenders for construction. The technical expertise of the Adani Group will be considered while selecting companies for the construction of the fishing port.
