Adani Gangavaram Port has achieved a significant operational milestone by successfully berthing the bulk carrier MV Cape Mars at a record draft of 18.31 metres, marking the deepest-ever bulk vessel handled across the APSEZ network.
This achievement sets a new benchmark in deep-draft operations within India’s port sector and reinforces the port’s position as a key gateway on the East Coast. The record berthing highlights the port’s advanced marine capabilities, precise navigational planning, and robust infrastructure designed to accommodate ultra-large bulk carriers.
Strategically located, Adani Gangavaram Port continues to play a vital role in handling large volumes of dry bulk cargo, supporting industries such as steel, power, and mining. The successful handling of MV Cape Mars at such a high draft underscores the port’s readiness to scale operations and efficiently manage next-generation vessels.
The milestone further strengthens APSEZ’s operational excellence and commitment to enhancing capacity, safety, and efficiency across its port network.
