Kerala plans to set up its third major port at Azhikkal, following the central government's directive to coastal states to set up such facilities. If the Azhikkal port development plan works out, the state would have three main ports – already operational Kochi Port Trust and the planned Vizhinjam port. Vallarpadam, which facilitates transshipment cargo, is part of the Kochi Port Trust. Azhikkal is in the Kannur district, around 200 km from Vallarpadam.
