Four gasoline, crude oil and LPG vessels arrive at Karachi ports

Four vessels carrying gasoline, crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) arrived at Karachi’s ports over the past 24 hours, supporting Pakistan’s fuel supply chain amid ongoing disruptions in the Gulf region.

According to a news report, port authorities confirmed that all shipments reached safely despite escalating tensions affecting energy infrastructure across Iran, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

At Port Qasim, MT Sunny Liger docked at the FOTCO Terminal with 25,000 metric tons of motor gasoline sourced from Fujairah in the UAE. MT NCC REEM also berthed at the same terminal, delivering 37,073 metric tons of gasoline from Yanbu, Saudi Arabia.

MT Gas Aurora arrived at the EVTL Terminal carrying 2,590 metric tons of LPG from Oman.

At Karachi Port Trust (KPT), MT Karachi docked at the oil terminal with 73,000 metric tons of crude oil imported from Das Island in the UAE.

The combined inflow of fuel cargo comes at a time of heightened uncertainty in global energy markets, with disruptions linked to ongoing conflict in the Gulf region.

Officials said the arrivals will help maintain domestic supply levels in the short term as Pakistan continues to rely on imports to meet its energy requirements.
