Wheat ship docks at Karachi port, another vessel on the way

A ship carrying 51,000 metric tonnes of wheat has arrived at Karachi port, while a second vessel with more than 59,000 tonnes is expected on November 3.

According to Karachi Port Trust (KPT), MV Gokova M reached the port at 12:25 pm on October 28. The port allocated berths 16 and 17 to the vessel.

KPT said wheat bulk cargo is being handled at Karachi Gateway Terminal Multipurpose Limited. The port says the aim is to make the import of essential commodities and cargo operations more efficient.

A second vessel, MV Great Rainbow, is expected to reach Karachi on November 3. It will carry 59,132.19 metric tonnes of wheat.

KPT said the declared cargo of the two vessels together exceeds 110,000 metric tonnes.

The port trust said handling such a large volume of wheat through the terminal highlights the port’s capacity to manage bulk cargo and move essential imports.
