Pakistan is continuing to secure fuel supplies as global uncertainty affects energy markets. Several petrol and crude oil shipments have recently arrived at Port Qasim, helping maintain local fuel availability.
According to officials, multiple oil tankers carrying petrol and diesel have reached the port in recent days. These include MT Khairpur, MT Sunny Liger, and MT NCC Reem, which delivered large amounts of petrol. Another vessel, MT Maritime Amity, brought a significant quantity of diesel to support local demand. Some ships have already completed offloading and left, while others are still waiting for clearance.
This steady arrival of fuel is important as Pakistan faces rising prices due to global supply issues. Ongoing tensions in the Middle East have disrupted oil routes and increased costs worldwide. As a result, the government has also raised fuel prices. Kerosene, in particular, has seen a sharp increase and is now one of the most expensive fuels in the country.
Officials say these shipments will help avoid shortages and keep supply stable in the coming weeks. However, high global prices continue to put pressure on the economy and consumers.
