• C. Ever Green
• D. San Ferninando

Answer 1

Answer:

B. San Fernando

• On July 11, 2024, the Vizhinjam International Seaport in Thiruvananthapuram received its first mothership, the MV San Fernando.

• MV San Fernando is owned by SFL Corporation and is chartered by Maersk (AP Moller Group), a major global shipping and logistics company.

• The Vizhinjam seaport has a natural draft of 18-20 metres, allowing it to accommodate some of the world’s largest container vessels without extensive dredging.

• As one of India’s deep-water ports, Vizhinjam’s capacity to host large container vessels enhances its potential as a strategic hub for international maritime trade.
