SUCCESS, TOGETHER
Your Gateway to Business Success Around Vizhinjam Port Economy
MISSION-DRIVEN
Headquartered in Mumbai with a deep-rooted operational presence in Trivandrum, Expatserv Private Limited is promoted by a team of professionals with a proven track record in managing large-scale, multi-continental business operations. The founders bring decades of leadership experience from global logistics, real estate, finance, and operational domains across the Middle East, Europe, USA and Southeast Asia.
Originally established to serve the real estate and financial needs of Non-Resident Keralites, Expatserv has evolved into a full-spectrum business facilitation firm. With its unmatched understanding of the Kerala landscape and strong global exposure, Expatserv is uniquely positioned to bridge international business expectations with local execution excellence.
Now, with the launch of India’s next major maritime gateway—the Vizhinjam International Transshipment Terminal—Expatserv is scaling its vision. Our Port Desk is a dedicated vertical created to assist port-linked businesses in securing, setting up, and thriving in this high-potential region.
The Vizhinjam International Transshipment Terminal, slated for formal commissioning in May 2025, is not just a port—it’s a strategic shift in the global shipping map. With a natural draft of 20 meters, proximity to the international east-west shipping route, and a planned investment of over $3 billion across three phases, Vizhinjam is primed to rival global giants like Colombo and Singapore.
1
Regional connections to Kochi, Tuticorin, Mangalore, Colombo, and Gulf ports will drive demand for feeder services. Operators will require land for offices, docks, crew quarters, and technical support units.
2
Cold chain storage, bonded warehouses, container freight stations (CFS), and inland container depots (ICD) will see rapid expansion to meet transshipment demand.
3
Opportunities in dry docks, marine fabrication, ship repairs, and supply of marine equipment are expected to flourish as ship traffic increases.
4
The port can act as a magnet for light and medium industries using raw materials from imported containers—ideal for assembly, packaging, and distribution hubs.
5
Customs clearance houses, international trade law firms, and consultancy outfits will be critical for enabling smooth trade flows and compliance.
6
Shipping lines, brokerage houses, and logistics conglomerates will require prime commercial spaces for local and regional command centers.
7
As operations scale, there will be a parallel demand for skilled manpower, training institutes, bunkering, hospitality, and welfare infrastructure.
Identification of strategic land parcels, leasehold spaces, and build-to-suit arrangements with seamless local negotiation support.
Incorporation, tax registrations, environmental clearances, port and maritime licenses, EPC assistance, and more.
