Global commodity trading firm Vitol has carried out the largest delivery of marine fuels ever undertaken at Karachi Port in Pakistan.
Vitol delivered 4,900 mt of fuel to the MSC Apollo at Karachi on Monday, the Karachi Port Trust said in a social media post.

"This milestone highlights KPT and its stakeholders' enhanced capability to handle large vessels for bunkering and emerging as bunkering hub.
