Introduction to Cochin Port:
Cochin Port is a vital maritime hub on the Arabian Sea – Laccadive Sea – Indian Ocean route, within Kerala’s Ernakulam district in Kochi, Kerala.
Famous as one of India’s premier and largest ports, it is the nation’s first inaugural transshipment port.
Perched upon the tranquil waters of Vembanadu Lake, it spans Willingdon Island and Vallarpadam. It is strategically located where the Fort Kochi River meets the Laccadive Sea.
Its crown jewel, the International Container Transshipment Terminal (ICTT), ranks India’s largest facility, facilitating seamless cargo transfers.
Under the governance of the Cochin Port Authority (CoPA), an entity established by the Government of India in 1928, the port boasts a storied history spanning over nine decades of steadfast service.
In Kochi’s maritime-centric ecosystem, it shares the limelight with other vital establishments such as:
- The renowned Cochin Shipyard, the country’s foremost shipbuilding and maintenance facility
- The offshore crude carrier mooring facility of Kochi Refineries at SPM (single point mooring)
- The scenic Kochi Marina
Innovative Protection for Maritime Infrastructure:
With its state-of-the-art facilities and strategic location, Cochin Port is a beacon of trade and commerce in South India.
Amidst the dynamic landscape of maritime infrastructure, the port needs robust corrosion protection measures.
