This simultaneous unloading of the vessels, MV ZHONG CHANG 538 and MV GOKOVA M, highlights KPT's enhanced capacity to manage critical agricultural inputs and essential commodities efficiently. Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Muhammad Junaid Anwar Chaudhry commended the port's engineers, port operators, pilots, terminal operators, dockworkers, and transporters for their efforts in maintaining cargo discharge operations. Chaudhry emphasized the importance of timely handling of essential imports for supporting agricultural production and ensuring food security. KPT Chairman retired Rear Admiral Shahid Ahmed highlighted the port's vital role in the country's trade and supply chain network, particularly in facilitating imports of agricultural inputs and essential food commodities. He added that the port authority is committed to modernising infrastructure and improving operational efficiency.",
