KARACHI: MV SELEN, operated by NLC (AP Line), has berthed at Karachi Port, marking the first Pakistan-bound container vessel to arrive following recent disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

The Karachi Port Trust said in a statement on Saturday that the vessel, arriving from Jebel Ali, signals the resumption of containerised trade and reflects renewed confidence in maritime supply chains.

The development highlights coordination among port, shipping and logistics stakeholders to sustain cargo operations.
