Largest-Ever Cargo Ship in Pakistan’s History to Dock at Karachi Port

The largest cargo ship in Pakistan’s shipping history is set to arrive at Karachi Port on Sunday afternoon.

The MSC MICOL, a 400-meter-long container vessel, will dock at the South Asia Pakistan Terminal (SAPT) at 2:30 PM. With a capacity of 24,070 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), it is the biggest ship ever to berth at a Pakistani port.

Built in 2023 and currently sailing under the flag of Liberia, the MSC MICOL (IMO 9931290, MMSI 636023098) represents a significant milestone for Pakistan’s maritime sector.

Officials hope that the ship’s arrival will help boost global trade connectivity and highlight Pakistan’s growing capacity to handle mega vessels.
