At the time of berthing the vessel's draft was 14.8 m, displacement 2,01,548 MT and had a cargo of 13,159 TEUs on board. The ship has arrived from Middle East carrying imports from Gulf, Greater China and Southeast Asia. The vessel exchanged close to 4,000 TEUs of import, export and trans-shipment containers while it was berthed at Mundra Port. APL Raffles will continue her onward journey to Far East Asia.
 
Mundra Port continues to attract large size ships consolidating its position as the most preferred gateway of Indian EXIM cargoes, especially agri products and manufactured goods. Other significantly large container vessels which have called on Mundra Port are MSC Regulus which has an LOA of 366.45 m MSC Valeria which has an LOA of 366 m.
 
The port offers 26 berths and two single-point moorings with an annual capacity to handle 248.82 MMT cargo with dedicated terminals for different cargo and commodity types.
