A high-level delegation from Lakshadweep is expected to visit Kollam Port for a detailed inspection as part of exploring the possibilities of Kollam-Minicoy passenger services.
“A decision has been taken after a meeting with top officials at the Lakshadweep Secretariat. The Lakshadweep administration has taken a positive stance as cruise services between Minicoy and Kollam are beneficial to the island,” N.K Premachandran, MP, said here on Tuesday.
Located around 200 nautical miles from Minicoy, Kollam is the nearest port from the island. Since the multi-purpose terminal can handle both passenger and cargo ships, the port has the potential to transform the district into a major transit point.
