MSC has reported challenges in quick berthing at Singapore and Colmbo Ports, due to which it is unloading containers at Indian ports for onward shipment.

Recently, container volumes have witnessed a peak at terminals operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) in Kamarajar and Mundra, where MSC recently acquired a stake.

MSC’s redirection of containers to Indian ports underscores the evolving dynamics of global trade routes and the increasing role of Indian terminals in mitigating congestion challenges.
