Explanation:

Major port at Enayam will act as a major gateway container port for Indian cargo that is presently trans-shipped outside the country. It will help to reduce the logistics cost for exporters/importers in South India who currently depend on trans-shipment other foreign ports, incurring additional port handling charges. The Enayam port has a natural deep draught of about 20 metres which makes it feasible for larger vessels.
