Meanwhile, the ship that brought 50,000 tons has started offloading on September 19.

A spokesman said that earlier, two ships carrying 50,000 tonnes each of coking coal from Australia were also cleared at the Pakistan Steel Jetty, while one carrying 55,000 tonnes of iron ore from Mauritania is expected to reach by October 6.

With the arrival of these ships, the total quantity of raw materials stock of PSM has increased to 160,000 tonnes of coal and 112,000 tonnes of iron ore.
