Visakhapatnam Port has achieved a significant milestone by successfully berthing a 292-metre-long Cape-sized bulk carrier, showcasing its growing capabilities in handling some of the world's largest cargo vessels.

Cape-sized ships are among the largest bulk carriers in operation globally and are commonly used for transporting commodities such as coal, iron ore, and grain across international markets. The successful berthing of such a vessel reflects the port's advanced infrastructure and operational efficiency.

Port authorities stated that the achievement demonstrates Vizag Port's readiness to accommodate high-capacity cargo traffic and meet the evolving demands of global maritime trade. The milestone is also expected to enhance the port's attractiveness to international shipping operators and logistics companies.

As one of India's leading ports on the eastern coast, Visakhapatnam Port continues to play a vital role in supporting trade, industry, and economic growth. Officials believe this accomplishment will further strengthen the port's reputation as a preferred gateway for maritime commerce while contributing to the region's logistics and supply chain ecosystem.
