Trial Run To Potentially Take Place In November

Delegates from the Kerala government are set to meet with India’s central government ministers to seek approval for this project. YA Rahim expresses confidence, saying, “I don’t see why there should be any objection to the project.” If the green light is given, a trial run could commence as early as November.

Exciting Features Onboard

Once aboard, passengers can look forward to a three-day journey filled with diverse culinary delights and entertainment options. Plus, you won’t have to fret about packing light – you can bring up to 200kg of luggage.

Destination Choices

The passenger ship will sail to two destinations initially – Kochi and Beypore. Kochi, one of Kerala’s most vibrant cities, boasts one of India’s largest ports.

The Vizhinjam port, set to be India’s largest container port once completed in December 2024, is in the project’s pipeline.
