Vizhinjam International Seaport is set to become India’s first ship-to-ship LNG bunkering facility, marking a transformative step in the country’s maritime energy transition. Strategically situated close to the East-West international shipping corridor, the upcoming facility will establish Vizhinjam as a pivotal gateway for low-carbon shipping across the Indian Ocean region.

Conceived as a dedicated LNG refuelling hub for international vessels, the project will provide a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to conventional marine fuels.

This initiative aligns India’s maritime infrastructure with the International Maritime Organization’s global decarbonisation goals, enabling a significant reduction in carbon and particulate emissions from ocean-going vessels.

The landmark initiative was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Adani Vizhinjam Port Private Limited (AVPPL) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) during India Maritime Week 2025 in Mumbai.
