KARACHI: Two ships carrying between 100 to 120 million liters of crude oil were successfully navigated from Fujairah, UAE, to Karachi, with the safe passage ensured under the protection of the Pakistan Navy.
Officials from the Pakistan National Shipping Corporation (PNSC) confirmed that the safe passage of these ships was ensured within the security perimeter provided by the Pakistan Navy.

Minister for Maritime Affairs, Junaid Anwar, expressed gratitude to the Pakistan Navy for ensuring a safe passage for these ships.
He further stated that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sought assistance from Iran for facilitating the extraction of two ships stranded in the Persian Gulf.
