The largest container ship ever to call at an Indian port, the MSC Anna vessel, docked at Mundra Port. MSC Anna has an overall length of 399.98 metres, roughly the length of four football fields, and has a huge capacity of 19,200 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU), making it the largest container ship by capacity to ever visit an Indian port. Its arrival draft is 16.3 metres, which can be accommodated only at Mundra Ports, as no other port in India is capable of berthing a deep-draft vessel. During its stay, the exchange is around 12,500 TEUs, which underscores Mundra Port’s capability to manage large-scale cargo efficiently. It is expected to cross the 200 MT mark in cargo handling in FY25, which will make it the country’s first port to achieve this feat.
