Ship stranded at Karachi beach rescued successfully

LAHORE (92 News) – The authorities successfully rescued the ship stranded at Karachi beach on Tuesday.

The ship has been pushed into deep water. It was taken to sea after being tied to two tug ships with chains.

The cargo ship coming from Shanghai was on its way to Istanbul, Turkey. It did not completely enter the Karachi Harbour, although it was anchored in Pakistani waters awaiting a crew change.

The rough sea caused the vessel to lose its anchors and it started drifting towards shallow water on July 21. The ship was already in shallow water by the time the KPT was informed about the situation.

The KPT then alerted the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PSMA) which couldn't provide much help as well.
