- Mundra Port has achieved a significant milestone by berthing the MT New Renown, a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC), at its full capacity.
- The port, belonging to Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), is known for handling enormous containers.
- The MT New Renown possesses a capacity of 3.3 lakh cubic metres, reflecting the remarkable efficiency of the experts at APSEZ in handling it.
- This achievement reveals the port’s capability to manage large quantities of imported crude oil. It also makes lightering unnecessary. Lightering is the process of transferring cargo like oil from a large vessel to smaller vessels (lighters) or barges.
