Verified before it's visible.
Every listing is reviewed before it goes live. We'd rather have fewer, real businesses than a padded directory nobody trusts.
About
One place to find every business
behind Vizhinjam Port.
PortConnect launched in 2026 as India's first B2B network built specifically for Vizhinjam International Seaport — currently listing 17 verified businesses across 9 categories, and growing every week.
Why We Built This
Vizhinjam is growing
faster than word of mouth.
Vizhinjam International Seaport is India's first deepwater transshipment port — built to bring cargo traffic home from Colombo, Singapore, and Dubai. As the port ramps up, the businesses around it — ship agencies, CHAs, freight forwarders, transporters, marine services, and dozens of other trades — are growing right alongside it.
The problem: finding the right one is still mostly word of mouth, old contact lists, and scattered listings across generic directories that weren't built for maritime or port-specific work. There was no single, trustworthy place to search by category and get straight to a verified business — so we built one.
PortConnect exists to do one job well: connect exporters, agents, and shipping companies with the real, working businesses operating around Vizhinjam Port — in seconds, not searches.

How We Operate
What we hold to.
02
Free to list.
No paywall to get discovered. If you operate around Vizhinjam Port, you belong in the directory.
03
No middlemen.
Enquiries go straight from the buyer to your listing. No commission, no call centre in between.
04
Built for one port, not everywhere.
We're not trying to be a generic national directory. Every category and listing here is chosen for relevance to Vizhinjam.
05
Local, and staying local.
Run out of Trivandrum, for the businesses working the Trivandrum coastline. We know the roads, the offices, and the port.
06
Still early — and listening.
We're building this with the businesses who use it. If something's missing, tell us — get in touch.
