KARACHI: Local authorities have initiated the transportation of the highly-anticipated slashed Russian crude oil from the vessel to a refinery in the bustling port city, insiders informed Geo News on Monday.
Sources within the facility revealed that out of the 45,000 metric tonnes of crude oil, 3,000 metric tonnes have been unloaded from the ship and transferred to Pakistan Refinery Limited (PRL).
Furthermore, they mentioned that the entire consignment of crude oil, which took over 20 days to arrive in the country, will be completely shifted to the refinery tomorrow. The vessel made its way to Pakistani waters from the Port of Oman.
