The first ship was flagged in at the Rs 7,700 crore deep-water international Vizhinjam port here on Sunday by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
Along with Congressman Shashi Tharoor, the Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly, Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan, and a number of state ministers, Vijayan waved a green flag to tell the tugboats to move the massive Chinese ship, Zhen Hua 15, from the wharf to the docking yard.
