KPT handles 174,979 metric tons of cargo in 24 hours

Business Recorder reported that Karachi Port handled 174,979 metric tons of cargo over the latest 24-hour period, citing officials of the Karachi Port Trust (KPT). Imports accounted for 104,127 metric tons of that volume, while exports came to 70,852 metric tons.

Vessel activity in the same window recorded 14 ships berthing and four sailing out, while 10 more waited at Outside Port Limits (OPL) for entry. The report credited steady container traffic, efficient dry bulk handling and the safe movement of liquid and fuel-related cargo for the performance, with containerized volumes of 86,932 metric tons, dry cargo of 145,049 metric tons and liquid cargo of 29,930 metric tons.

Twelve more ships are scheduled to dock between 4 and 5 September 2026, among them container ships, liquid cargo tankers and a clinker carrier. X-PRESS KABRU is also set to leave during that window. The daily figures give investors a snapshot of trade moving through the port, though the update names no listed companies.
