In a release, Chairperson M. Angamuth, congratulated the entire VPA team, terminal operators, stakeholders, and the trade community on this noteworthy achievement.

The Port is also progressing with strategic projects such as deepening the inner channel, mechanisation of berths with PPP, improvement to road infrastructure, and green port initiatives like a shore power facility and one million tree plantation to support sustanable growth.
