Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Muhammad Junaid Anwar Chaudhry announced the arrival of M.V. Grande Shanghai, carrying more than 2,000 electric vehicles (EVs) in Pakistan’s first-ever Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) shipment.
Minister said the 220-metre RoRo vessel had successfully berthed at the Karachi Gateway Terminal Multipurpose Limited (KGTML) terminal of Karachi Port Trust (KPT), describing the development as a significant milestone for Pakistan’s maritime and logistics sectors.
He said the vessel’s arrival followed his approval of RoRo shipments of electric vehicles during a meeting of a committee on maritime issues held last month.
The minister said the successful handling of the vessel reflected the growing capability of port infrastructure to accommodate specialised cargo operations in line with international standards.
He noted that the country’s first RoRo shipment of electric vehicles also highlighted Pakistan’s gradual integration into the global clean mobility and sustainable transport supply chain.
