Ship carrying 4,000 tonnes of LPG docks at Port Qasim

A vessel carrying 4,000 metric tons of LPG from Bahrain reached Port Qasim on October 24, with unloading operations under way, Business Recorder reported, citing the Port Qasim Authority. The ship, Yellowstone, berthed at 8:42am, and the authority said the cargo would support energy needs of domestic and commercial users.

The arrival comes as Pakistan faces concerns about LPG shortages and higher prices, particularly affecting households without piped natural gas and commercial users. Separately, trade resumed at the Gabd-Rimdan crossing with Iran on Saturday, which is expected to help move trucks stranded during a weeklong suspension, carrying LPG and other essential goods. The source says the imported cargo could add to availability, while retail-price effects depend on distribution speed and market conditions.
