Fuel shipments are continuing to arrive at Port Qasim as the government works to secure petroleum supplies during the ongoing Middle East crisis. These arrivals are part of efforts to maintain fuel availability and avoid shortages across the country.
Several fuel-carrying ships have recently reached the port with large quantities of petrol. Among them, MT Khairpur brought around 60,000 tonnes of fuel, while MT Sunny Liger delivered about 26,000 tonnes from Fujairah. Another vessel, MT NCC Reem, also arrived carrying nearly 38,000 tonnes of petrol.
At the same time, multiple tankers have already completed the unloading process and left the port. These include MT Torm Damini, MT Nave Atropos, MT Sapporo II, and MT Maritime Amity. Their successful offloading has helped strengthen the country’s fuel reserves during a time of uncertainty in global energy markets.
Meanwhile, another tanker, MT Sea Clipper, carrying around 34,000 tonnes of petrol, is currently waiting at the outer anchorage. It is expected to dock soon once space becomes available at the port for unloading.
Despite the steady arrival of fuel shipments, prices of some petroleum products have increased. Kerosene prices have risen sharply by Rs39.20 per litre, reaching Rs358 per litre. This makes it the most expensive fuel type in the country since March 7.
Officials continue to monitor the situation closely, ensuring that supply lines remain active. These ongoing efforts are aimed at maintaining stability in fuel availability despite rising global tensions and increasing pressure on energy markets.
