The Vizhinjam International Seaport has been assigned a new location code, IN TRV 01. The new code breaks down as; “IN” for India, “TRV” for Thiruvananthapuram, and “01” for the port. This code replaces the previous code, IN NYY 1, which stood for India and Neyyattinkara thaluk. Allocated by the central government’s Directorate General of System and Data Management, this location code will be used for shipping and navigation purposes.
The central government is expected to inaugurate the project soon. It has received a commercial commissioning certificate on December 4, 2024.
