Dakshin Bharat
Gateway Terminal once again splendidly accommodated MV. MSC VIDHI with LOA 277m
arrived from Tema / Ghana. The assiduous
efforts of MSC and DBGT to attract direct call to Tuticorin Port during the
West Africa cashew season has come to fruition by accommodating MV. MSC
VIDHI and this would be considered as a boon for Raw cashew importers by which
their transhipment cost can be hoarded.
As usual, MSC
takes the lead in deploying as much ADHOC calls at DBGT to fulfil the customer
needs. Incidentally, this was the second call for MSC VIDHI at DBGT as she made
her earlier call on 20th March 2022 during last cashew season.
Notably, Tuticorin Port and
DBGT always try to promote Raw Cashew imports as it is one of the Major import
cargos for Tuticorin Trade fraternity. The prevailing
VRC incentive scheme offered by VOCPA is one of the major motivation factors
for the players like MSC, initiating such ADHOC calls.
To commemorate the
occasion, a low-key ceremony was organized by DBGT onboard the vessel, during
which the Master of the vessel was presented with a Memento. The Terminal
Management thanked MSC for their valuable and aggressive support for the Raw
Cashew Trade by deploying bigger vessels directly from the Port of Origin.
MV. MSC VIDHI is
having capacity of 5770 TEU’s, arrived directly from Tema / Ghana, with total
throughput of 615 Crane Moves at Tuticorin and bound to Abu Dhabhi (UAE) as
next port.
DBGT Management
thanked the efforts of VOC Port Authority, MSC Agency (India) Pvt. Ltd., and
DBGT Team on this remarkable achievement. |
