The V O Chidambaranar Port Authority at Tuticorin is ramping up its infrastructure to facilitate green hydrogen projects and enhance cargo handling capacity. The north cargo berth-III is set to undergo dredging and mechanization by JSW Infrastructure to handle up to seven million tonnes annually. Additionally, the port is widening its entrance channel to accommodate vessels with a beam of 49 metres and a length of 366 metres. The Union ministry's plan for green hydrogen hubs at various ports includes Kandla, Paradip, and Tuticorin, with VOC Port attracting investments from companies like ACME Green Hydrogen and Chemicals. The port is offering land and necessary facilities to support these projects. Moreover, the outer harbour container terminal project is a key initiative to expand container capacity by four million TEUs and handle larger vessels, improving its competitive edge. Despite competition from the mega transshipment container terminal at Vizhinjam in Kerala, VOC Port stands out due to its established infrastructure, operational efficiency, and strategic location. Tamil Nadu's industrial growth is further supported by initiatives like industrial corridors and airport expansions, with the port's developments aligning with market demands for efficient cargo handling. The port's focus on green energy projects signifies its commitment to sustainability and future growth in the industry.
