After commissioning the Vallarpadom Container Terminal Cochin was on its way to become a trade center for South Asia. In 2007 January Cochin began to set up a 20 km X 20 km super city, centered around the Kanyakumari District's coast. The entire 400 sq.km area was cleared of its population , them being resettled in other parts of Cochin. As the land was being prepared a massive artificial harbor was dredged out and a super port 10 km long was set up. This will take 2 years to complete and phases of it are given to different contractors for parallel execution.
The entire complex is to be called Gosree City. The Gosree Port will have capability to accomodate 100 ships at the same time. A massive shipping canal will be dredged out from the deep sea with deep sea depth with a corridor width of 1km with an in and out corridor.
Port will be divided into 10 km segments , A to J. A to D will be exclusively for container traffic. Adjoint to the seaport will be an international airport, a railway loading yard and a railway terminal. Gosree city will be a tax free zone for its companies. Power and water will be supplied at a rate lower than global average and especially lower than in other trade cities. The Mullaperiyar reservoir shall provide water for this city and a nuclear power plant will be set up exclusively for Gosree. In the center of the city there will be a public park in the centre of which will be a 900 mtr tall tower to be called the Gosree Star. At the top of this tower there will be a massive rotating beacon which will serve as a light house. In the city there will be a city market, Shopping area, Industrial Area, Corporate Area, Residential Area etc. The area shall be administered by a Gosree Administrative Corporation headed by a Managing Director answerable to the King. Law and order shall be maintained by a special Gosree Command of RCPF. This shall include a SWAT team also. Defense of Gosree will be taken care of by an Air Cavalry Division and a Fast Response Squadron. There will be a Metro Rail system for the city which shall be connected to the railway terminal and airport also.
