Thiruvananthapuram - The Vizhinjam International Seaport, developed and operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), has achieved a historic milestone by berthing the MSC Verona with a draft of 17.1 metres, setting a new national record for the deepest draft container vessel handled in India.

This landmark occasion also marked the 500th vessel call at Vizhinjam, a remarkable feat achieved within just 10 months of commercial operations, which began in December 2024. Among these, 28 were Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCVs) — the highest number ever handled by a single Indian port.
