• The Kodungallur port is a riverine port in the mouth of river Periyar.The southern bank of the port is Munambam which is in Ernakulam
district and northern bank is Azhikode which is in Trichur District.
• This is essentially a green field commercial port development without any base cargo or captive cargo.
• The principal requirement of the port is for promoting coastal shipping and thereby reducing the load of the land mode transport.
• In view of this, private investment cannot be expected for the first stage of port development. Hence, public funding is envisaged for the initial stage development. Port planning exercise has been developed in two phases. Initial phase and Final phase.
• In the case of Kodungallur port the major portion of traffic would be coastal cargo and there would be only marginal quantities of foreign trade cargo like timber which is brought in shallow draft vessels. The coastal cargo would mainly comprise of food grains, construction materials and industrial cargo like soda ash.

Connectivity:

• Road: NH 66 
• Rail : Irinjalakuda Railway Station
• Air: Cochin International Airport

• The Kodungallur port as existing now is developed as a Fishing Harbour with required marine access and protective works. With the construction of breakwaters for the protection of the harbour basin, accretion occurred by the side of the northern breakwater.
• The accretion in the port area provides usable land for maritime activities. Further there is potential for reclamation of shallow areas of backwaters for providing additional land for port activities. On the strength of these basic facility, the port has potential for the development of commercial port activities and other maritime activities like ship building and ship repair facility, maritime personnel training etc.
• While these development activities are taken it has to be ensured that the Fishing Harbour activities including the potential of its future developments are least affected. The Port facilities are to be developed in stages in accordance with traffic growth and its specific needs.
• The facilities created at each stage of development shall be adaptable for the future comprehensive requirements with marginal modifications and it should not become infructuous.

• At present, Azhikkal Port is a minor fishery port in Azhikkal village, Kannur District.
• It is located at the confluence of Valapattanam River and Mattol River with the Lakshadweep Sea. Government of Kerala, in collaboration with private sector, encourages setting up of new port facilities,support infrastructure & upgradation of existing facilities along with installation of modern & efficient handling equipment.
• Development of the existing minor Azhikkal port into a medium, all- weather port is in congruence with the same intent.
• Azhikkal port development also falls under the purview of the Central Government sponsored National Maritime Development Program (NMDP).
• The State government over the years has been investing on this port in a systematic manner; such as Breakwaters, Wharf, Parking Area, Compound wall, Electrification ,Crane and other facilities

Key features and offerings of the Park

• 469 inland vessels registered at various
  ports of Kerala in 2019-20
• 5000 DWT Target Vessel handling Capacity(Lighterage) at Azhikkal Port post expansion

tal Landscape
• The coastal traffic anticipated to be handled by Azhikkal by the end of 2020 is to the tune of around 1.63 million tonnes
• Recent initiatives like setting up 2400 MW thermal power plant at Cheemeni (in advanced stages of planning) & setting up Industrial park of various categories would boost up the value for Azhikkal port
• Proximity of the location to the main international shipping route can give a thrust to the requirement of a Transshipment Terminal (FeederServices)
• The proposed ICD at Kannur will help the handling / storage of cargo which could be routed through Azhikkal
• Demand for some key commodities drives the value of development of the Azhikkal port:oCoal(Proximity to upcoming Cheemeni Thermal Power Plant),oFertilizer (Increase in demand of imported fertilizer),oSteel (Capacity expansion beyond New Mangalore & Krishnapuram)

• Government of Kerala has been following a comprehensive port-based development policy for the State; all through Public Private Partnerships (PPP).
• Government has subsequently found that Ponnani port in Malappuram district of the State, which is an estuary port where Bharathapuzha joins the Arabian Sea could possibly be developed into an allweather port.
• Government of Kerala has decided to develop Ponnani port in PPP mode on BOT basis, and through the Swiss Challenge Method.
• Three categories of vessels are proposed for the port – dry bulk carriers (40,000 DWT), general cargo carriers (between 20001 DWT and 30000 DWT), container carriers (between 1667 TEU and 2500 TEU).

• The proposed port site is located at the Mouth of the Ponnani Estuary, with a water front length of 2500m
• One of the most prominent landmarks near the site is the lighthouse at Ponnani located on the southern side
• On the northern side of the proposed site (at the estuary),Bharathapuzha (second longest river in Kerala) joins with Tirurpuzha and drains into the Arabian Sea
• Malappuram district is a hilly terraced tract. The innumerable streams that meander these hillsare linked with backwaters, whichfacilitate a network of inland waterways
• 1815 m of northern backwater and 1300 m of southern backwater
