# Pamban

**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Open Roadstead

On Pamban Island in the Palk Strait, off Tamil Nadu, this anchorage sits beside the causeway linking the mainland with Rameswaram. Its freight relevance is minimal: an open roadstead serving inshore fishing and small craft, with no container, breakbulk or customs operations. A ferry once ran from here to Sri Lanka until Dhanushkodi was destroyed in 1964, but no commercial liner service operates today. For ocean freight and customs clearance, the deep-water port of Tuticorin (V. O. Chidambaranar) is the relevant gateway.
