About This Seaport
With cargo vessels of up to 15,000 DWT berthing at a 177-metre wharf with a draught of around 6.5 metres, Kollam Port (Quilon, UN/LOCODE IN QUI) ranks as Kerala's third-largest port by cargo volume. Founded in AD 825, it is among India's oldest working harbours and is managed by the Kerala Maritime Board. Handled cargo centers on coir, cashew nuts, minerals, tiles and petroleum products, alongside coastal shipments of rice, coconut, tapioca and fertilizer. Dredging works are underway to deepen the channel to 10 metres, allowing ships of 170 metres and above to call directly. Kollam is one of only four Kerala ports with an immigration checkpoint for international cargo and passenger clearance. The adjoining Neendakara Fishing Harbour is a key base for the region's mechanized fishing fleet. For larger container vessels, Kochi and Vizhinjam serve as the nearest alternative ports.
