MSC in the new religion of Vizhinjam!

Sharique Samsudheen recently proclaimed MSC coming to the Kerala Coast is a very great oppurtunity for “THE PEOPLE OF KERALA” but I ask you: “**which people?”
**BECAUSE History has always shown a pattern:

THE BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY ENTERS A REGION
THEY MAKE PROFIT
THEY EXPLOIT THE SHI- OUTTA PEOPLE

Here are some simple findings for you to cross check and find about MSC:
(adding all kulsitham I could find out)

CHAPTER 1: IN THE BEGINNING, An Italian sea captain bought a ship

Circa 1970.
Gianluigi Aponte, buys a second hand ship - _**MV PATRICIA.

**_FAST FORWARD 2026:
155 Countries + 1000+ vessels. ((📈(📈)

The strategy was simple:
Don’t wait years building new ships.
Buy existing ones.
Move faster.
Expand aggressively.

Classic.Empire.Domination (WOOOWW!)

NEXT CHAPTERS, WE WILL DISCUSS HOW THE EMPIRE IS GOING!

CHAPTER 2: THE Empire has a waste problem. Where do ship go when they die?

A ship is not just steel.
It contains some real deep level shi- like:
Asbestos insulation.
Oil residues.
Heavy metals.
Chemical waste.
Toxic paints.

MSC Cruise ship in Flam - Norway

Now, MSC has been accused for years for sending many old ships to SOUTHERN ASIA beaching yards, specially to India, Pakistan & Bangladesh. The concern of this action is that the Global North creams over the idea of cheap shipping & the Global South pays the price for waste.

MSC says it follows applicable recycling regulations🧢. (REALLY BRUH?)

A ship named MSC Gayane docks (papama…..papama…..)

US Authorities surround the vessel. Searches it.
Boom! 20 tons of Coke!
ESTIMATED VALUE: $1BILLION.
One of the largest seizures in the History.

Now there is not direct links to MSC being in organized smuggling but they didn’t fail to pull a victim card.

CHAPTER 4: TRANSPARENCY WAS NEVER IN OUR DICTIONARY

MSC moves a massive amount of global trade. & unlike some corporate giants:
THEY ARE PRIVATELY OWNED.
CONTROLLED BY THE APONTE FAMILY.

When a company becomes infrastructure for global civilization, should there be more transparency?

now the real questions:

why Vizhinjam?

**MSC is not just another company entering Kerala.
It is a shipping empire.

When Kerala opens the door to the world, who holds the key?
