Amid grandeur, the port proudly hosted the formidable
vessel as it set sail on Monday 19 Feb to partake in the upcoming exercises.
INS Vikramaditya
holds a prominent position in the Indian Navy, bolstering
the nation’s maritime defence posture and power projection capabilities in the
Indian Ocean region. With its robust capabilities, the aircraft carrier has
been instrumental in safeguarding India’s maritime interests and ensuring
regional security.
The selection of Adani Gangavaram Port as the docking
site for INS Vikramaditya underscores not only the port’s capacity to
accommodate large naval vessels but also emphasizes the importance of
collaboration between civilian and military sectors in bolstering maritime
security and defense preparedness, officials said.
Hosting such a
prestigious national asset reflects the strategic significance of the port and
its pivotal role in supporting India’s naval operations and maritime interests,
they added.
