As the grand opening of Vizhinjam Port gets closer, more container ships are starting to roll in.

Thiruvananthapuram: More container ships from Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), one of the largest shipping firms in the world, are starting to arrive at Vizhinjam Port as its commissioning date approaches at the end of October. Port authorities are currently conducting trial runs for loading and unloading containers with the cranes set up at the site. Following the arrival of MSC's massive vessel, the "Claude Girardet," last week, a steady flow of ships has begun docking. Officials confirmed that two vessels of different sizes can berth at the same time. On September 19, the "Tavvishi" arrived with around 4,000 containers, and the unloading process is nearly finished, with the vessel set to depart on Sunday. A smaller ship, the "Eyra," is also at the port, unloading 200 containers before heading back later in the day. Earlier, the MSC vessel "Eva" had already visited. This Sunday afternoon, two more vessels, the "Rose," measuring 364 meters long and 51 meters wide, and "Capetown-3," which is 223 meters long and 30 meters wide, are expected to dock. Additionally, MSC's mother ship, "Anna," which is 400 meters long and 58 meters wide, is slated to arrive at Vizhinjam Port early on September 25.
