Vizhinjam Port Crew Change Services Face Setback in Court

Imagine a port that allowed sailors to swap crews on ships.

During the pandemic, this port let sailors do this, but it was only temporary.

Now, the government has said they can't do it anymore because it's not safe enough, and also because those temporary pandemic rules are over.

The local shipping companies wanted to keep doing it, but a judge said no.

The port had wanted to keep these services running, but the central government said no.

Now, the port cannot allow it due to security reasons.
