In December 2019, the Karachi Port Trust (KPT) welcomed the largest container ship ever to visit Pakistan. This massive container vessel, named the ‘Cosco Belgium,’ docked at Karachi Port’s South Wharf area.
The ‘Cosco Belgium’ set a new record with impressive specs, including a length of 366 meters, a high gross registered tonnage of 153,666 metric tonnes, and a maximum width of 51.20 meters.
This Hong Kong-flagged ship arrived at SAPT-3 berths at 8:10 pm local time under the supervision of Deputy Conservator KPT, Captain Asif Ahmed Saeed Tauni, with strict safety measures in place.
