In a groundbreaking development, the world’s largest eco-friendly container ship, MSC Turkiye, arrived at the newly developed Vizhinjam International Seaport in Kerela on April 9, 2025.
This is the first time the massive vessel has made a port call in South Asia.
MSC Turkiye is considered one of the largest and most fuel-efficient container ships ever built. It is operated by the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC).
The vessel is an engineering marvel, measuring 399.9 meters in length, 61.3 meters in width, and with a depth of 33.5 meters.
It has the capacity to carry 24,346 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), placing it among the largest cargo vessels globally in terms of container capacity.
The ship docked at Vizhinjam Port at 5:10 pm on Wednesday and is scheduled to depart for Ghana on April 10, 2025 (Thursday) evening after unloading about 2,000 containers.
