Vizhinjam International Seaport Thiruvananthapuram (, VIZ-in-jam ... TIR-uu-və-nə-TAH-puurr-əm), also known as Port of Trivandrum is India's first deep-water transshipment port. In the city of Thiruvananthapuram, the port is designed to be a multi-purpose, all-weather, green port and is about 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. It is India's first automated port, and its only port directly adjacent to an international shipping lane. The port is 10 nautical miles from the heavily-trafficked east-west shipping channel connecting Europe to the Persian Gulf, Southeast Asia, and the Far East. The port has a natural depth of 24 metres and can host many of the world's massive cargo ships, including those exceeding 24,000 TEU such as ULCS container ships. The port was inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 2 May 2025.
