The new oil tanker Khairpur ship, which has been bought from the United Kingdom, has arrived at the Karachi port oil terminal. The oil tanker ship has brought oil from the United Arab Emirates.

This has risen the number of PNSC oil tanker ships to six.

In a tweet, the minister had said:” It gives me great pleasure to inform the Pakistani nation that PNSC has added to its fleet a MoGas Carrier LR-1 vessel on March 25, 2019. The ship named Bolan will help reduce the dependency on foreign vessels & save millions of $’s in freight. Another step towards self reliance!”

Zaidi had also congratulated the chairman, the board & management of PNSC for successful acquisition. He had added: “Inshallah another vessel will be added to the PNSC fleet before the end of Summer 2019.”

In November 2017, the PNSC had inducted two Aframax-category tankers.
