Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) in Mundra has proudly achieved a groundbreaking milestone in maritime history with the arrival of the CMA CGM Fort Diamant. This remarkable vessel is the first-ever Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) powered container ship to dock at the port’s Container Terminal CT4, showcasing our commitment to sustainable innovation in the shipping industry.

This pioneering vessel, measuring 268 metres in length and 43 meters in beam, is the third in a series of LNG-powered ships with a capacity of 7,000 containers. Operating on the CIMEX2K/AS-1 service, it connects the Indian subcontinent with China, further enhancing global trade routes. The ship’s seamless berthing at Mundra Port underscores Adani Ports’ commitment to innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence.

Adani Ports, Mundra is India’s largest port and a flagship of APSEZ, is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure to handle vessels of up to 21 meters in depth, supported by robust connectivity through highways, rail corridors, and the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC).

The adoption of LNG as a fuel source reflects the shipping industry’s ongoing commitment to reducing carbon emissions. LNG-powered ships offer a cleaner, greener alternative to traditional marine fuels, contributing to the global transition towards sustainable maritime practices.

Mundra Port has previously hosted some of the largest container ships to dock in India, including MSC Anna and APL Raffles, further establishing itself as a leading container hub in South Asia.

This historic arrival is a testament to Adani Ports’ pioneering role in advancing sustainable practices and modernising logistics infrastructure to meet the evolving demands of global trade.
