India Receives Largest-Ever Container Ship

11/29/2011 9:01:33 AM

The largest container ship ever to call Indian shores arrived last week at the Port of Mundra, a deepwater cargo hub on the west coast.

The 1,092-foot APL Italy docked at the DP World-operated Mundra International Container Terminal on Nov. 24 to discharge about 1,250 import containers. Built in 2002, the Liberian-flag vessel has a nominal capacity of 8,402 20-foot equivalent units, according MICT.

“Arrival of such vessels is a milestone for Mundra International Container Terminal, which will boost export-import trade in and out of Gujarat and India as a whole,” MICT said. Mundra, India’s largest privately developed port currently has two container facilities, including the port-run Adani Mundra Container Terminal.
