Tuticorin Port

Tuticorin Port

Tuticorin Port, also known as V. O. Chidambaram Port, is one of the major Indian Sea Port & is strategically located on the southern tip of India, in the state  of TamilNadu. In 2010 a ferry service started between Tuticorin & Colombo. It has a major Coal Handling terminal, which feeds close to 70 coal power electricity stations in the vicinity

For other shipments too this has been a major port and obvious choice or importers and exporters due to its following infrastructure:

  • Strategically located very close to the East-West International Sea-Route.
  • Well connected by broad gauge rail & road with all Major Cities and all ICDs.
  • 2 Container terminals operated by M/s. PSA SICAL and M/s. DBGT with modern equipment and State of Art Technology.
  • Mechanized IX Berth with conveyor and Harbour Mobile Crane facilities.
  • 14.2 m draft. Round the clock operations.
  • Night Navigations.
  • Adequate covered and vast open storage area.
  • open lands in the Port area suited for locating Port based industries.

Although both transportation and logistics deal with getting valuables from one location to another, logistics has added benefits and functions. Logistics executives also have to make decisions dealing with packaging, containerization, documentation, insurance, storage, importing and exporting regulations, freight damage claims, working and collaborating, managing vendors and partners, and risk mitigation. Even though these terms have been used as a substation for each other, the key differentiators are that logistics deals with the integration of storage.

United Duty Free has been succesfully operating its shop on this port since 2010.
