For a freight forwarder the honest answer is that Kolachel is a fishing harbour rather than a commercial cargo gateway. On the Laccadive Sea coast of Kanyakumari district, it ranks among Tamil Nadu's leading seafood hubs, landing tuna, mackerel, sardines, prawns and lobster for domestic and export markets. The much-publicised deep-water transshipment port remains a proposal and has been relocated to nearby Enayam, so there are no established container, breakbulk or customs cargo operations on site. Shipments for the region are better routed through Tuticorin (V. O. Chidambaranar) or the Vizhinjam transshipment terminal.
