KARACHI – February 10 was a landmark day for the FAP Terminal at Port Qasim when two vessels with a combined length of 350 metres were berthed simultaneously at its jetty. The ‘KT ALBATROSS’ was discharging oilseeds imported from Canada while the ‘TRANSOCEAN’ was loading wheat for export.
The terminal also broke its own single day unloading record by discharging 17,000 metric tons of oilseeds in 24 hours between February 11 and 12. The FAP Terminal which was inaugurated on October 26 last year, is Pakistan’s first advanced automated dry bulk cargo handling and storage facility.
