Willingdon Island, Maritime transportation hub in Kochi, India.

Willingdon Island consists of reclaimed land from Vembanadu Lake, forming an artificial landmass that spans across the waters of Kerala's coastline.

The construction of this strategic port island began in 1936 under Lord Willingdon's governance, with Sir Robert Bristow leading the engineering project.

The island maintains the headquarters of Southern Naval Command while supporting maritime commerce through its extensive network of trading facilities.

Travelers reach the island through bridges connecting mainland Kochi, with regular water taxis operating from multiple points along the shore.

The Port of Kochi on Willingdon Island processes millions of tons of international cargo while housing India's largest artificial harbor complex.
