DBGT has successfully attracted an ad hoc call from VOC Port to Singapore by CMA CGM, one of the world’s largest mainline operators. The vessel, M. V. Songa Lioness, berthed on March 4, 2025 @ 0915 hours, handled a volume of 1,291 TEUs at DBGT, VOC Port, and sailed on the same day @1755 hours.
By handling this direct Singapore call, the DBGT management proudly embarks on a new chapter of global connectivity and economic expansion in the region. Whilst acknowledging this being a one-off ad hoc call, the management strongly feels that it’s not just a logistics achievement for the terminal but also signifies its growing prominence in international shipments.
This accomplishment further strengthens VOC Port’s direct connectivity profile to Singapore and extends its reach to Australia, New Zealand, the Far East, etc.
DBGT has thus reinforced its commitment to the ex-im trade and shipping fraternity by fostering global trade connections, driving economic growth and enhancing its reputation as a premier gateway for international commerce, with the support of VOC Port Authority, Tuticorin, emphasised a communique.
