2)      It is the second largest port in India.
3)      It was renamed the V O Chidambaranar port, after the freedom fighter V O Chidambaram Pillai, in 2011.
4)      It was declared a major port in 1974 and is an all-weather port.
5)      The port is strategic to international trade as it lies close to the International sea route in the Gulf of Mannar.
6)      Tuticorin is the third international port functioning since AD 88, as historians state.
