KARACHI, Dec 19: Four ships carrying chemicals, general cargo and containers are expected to arrive at the outer anchorage on Friday, according to KPT sources.
Berthing activity at the wharves was relatively slow where only two ships, Al-Mariyah to unload and load containers and Keefan to offload high speed diesel were berthed after the departure of five.
The ships, which departed were led by Mar Challenger, Sima Bahar, APL Jeddah, Ginga Merlin and Pontos, while Keefan is due to sail out on Friday.
Berth occupancy at the oil piers was active rising to 67 per cent, while it fell further to 31 per cent on the dry wharves owing to lesser calling by the cargo vessels.

The following ships are due on Friday: Nur Yanbu, with chemicals, Wan Hai-305 and Jamila, with containers and Wind Admiral, with general cargo.
