Service to connect hinterlands of northern Kerala with Kochi by sea
Minister of State for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Mansukh Mandaviya inaugurated the loading operation of the maiden voyage of coastal shipping service Green Freight Corridor-2 from Kochi to Beypore and Azhikkal ports on Tuesday. The service is expected to bring about a marked modal shift of transportation of containers, easing congestion on the road and reducing carbon footprint. This also augurs well to connect the hinterlands of northern Kerala, particularly the export-import (EXIM) trade in Kozhikode and Kannur region, which will gain direct access to Vallarpadam container transshipment terminal by sea, saving cost and transit time. Green Freight Corridor Service is operated by Round The Coast Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, a JM Baxi Group Company. Kollam port too will be added to this service.
