KARACHI: Hutchison Ports Pakistan has processed a complex multi-vessel operation, handling four mainline vessels and one feeder vessel simultaneously.

A total of 10,301 TEUs were handled during the operation, minimising vessel turnaround times and maintaining service reliability, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

The vessels have since proceeded to key trade routes, with next destinations including Sohar in the Middle East, Colombo in South Asia, and Singapore and Malaysia in Southeast Asia, further integrating Pakistan into global maritime shipping lanes.
