This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The Poovar Trivandrum Shipyard is a proposed facility for shipbuilding and repair in Poovar, a coastal village within the Thiruvananthapuram,Kerala, India. This project seeks to leverage the area's proximity to international shipping lanes and the Vizhinjam International Seaport Thiruvananthapuram to establish a comprehensive shipbuilding and repair yard.^[1].

Background

The Poovar Trivandrum shipyard project is a proposed initiative intended to develop Kerala's maritime infrastructure and contribute to the local economy through shipbuilding and repair services. Following a directive from the Government of India, the Kerala state government^[2] designated Poovar as a suitable location for the shipyard, considering its proximity to the Vizhinjam International Seaport and international shipping channels. Cochin Shipyard Limited^[3] has identified Poovar as an appropriate site for this project, which intends to address both domestic and international shipbuilding and repair requirements. However, the project has experienced several delays that have impacted its potential contributions to Kerala's maritime economy

Proposal and Development Shipyard

In 2008, the Kerala government submitted a formal proposal to the Union Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport, and Highways, identifying Poovar as a suitable location for an international-size shipyard. Minister of Shipping T.R. Baalu acknowledged the proposal^[4], confirming its receipt and the suitability of Poovar for this purpose.

During a Lok Sabha session on February 27, 2008, Minister Baalu discussed the proposal, noting the availability of 2.5 kilometers of waterfront and 800-1,000 acres of land^[5], which would be acquired through a combination of land acquisition and reclamation. The proposal also highlighted Poovar's deep-water capacity, with a water depth of 13 meters available within 500 meters of the shore, and its connectivity via NH-47 and the Thiruvananthapuram-Kanyakumari broad-gauge railway line. Furthermore, materials needed for the shipyard’s development could be transported via the nearby Vizhinjam Port.

Vijayakumar, the then Minister of Ports in Kerala, selected Poovar as a potential site during discussions in the Kerala Assembly. The Mumbai Port Trust was designated as the nodal agency^[6] for the shipyard's establishment on India’s west coast, tasked with evaluating the location and appointing consultants to explore alternative sites. A tender for this purpose was issued by the Mumbai Port Trust in January 2008.In 2011, the Poovar Panchayat, under President Anto Marceline^[7], passed a resolution supporting the shipyard project.

Current Status

As of 2024, Union Minister of Shipping Sarbananda Sonowal^[8] requested the Kerala government to identify a suitable location for the establishment of a new shipyard. In response, the state government proposed Poovar as a potential site for the project.
