Vizhinjam, near Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala, has handled its second crew change since operations resumed, on the Curacao-flagged tanker Atlantis I at the port’s outer anchorage. Two Indian seafarers joined and two signed off while the tanker, disabled by an engine failure, was repaired at anchor with spare parts sent by boat.
Vizhinjam International Seaport near Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, has received its first import container, carried by MSC Sabrina III from Ningbo, China. The milestone opens a direct import gateway for Kerala, two and a half months after the deep-water port began export-import operations in August.
A court has lifted a stay so a Kerala government committee can restart compensation talks with MSC over the May 2025 sinking of MSC Elsa 3 in the Arabian Sea off Kerala. Any settlement must go back to the court, with the next hearing on 24 November and claims still far apart.
