Until rail access to the international port is established, the government intends to implement container rail terminals (CRTs) as a backup route. Only in 2028, when the port’s construction is currently finished, would direct rail links to the port be feasible. According to officials, the purpose of the CRT system is to speed up the flow of commodities until that time. Trailers carrying unloaded containers from the freight train to the port are the alternate project.

According to officials, a single shipment of products can typically contain 70–80 containers, and two or three of these items may arrive simultaneously. From the port, these containers can be returned to the products. What matters is that more room is needed for shunting yards and unloading cargo. Inspections of the Neyyattinkara and Thiruvananthapuram South (Nemom) stations have begun by the railway authority.

The multipurpose small berths being built in conjunction with the pulimuttu at the international port will be equipped with a liquid cargo berth. Its goal is to make it simple to pump fuel, edible oil, and other materials to land and store in tanks.
