On February 16, 2026, the Pakistan National Shipping Corporation (PNSC) successfully inducted the Aframax tanker M.T Lahore into its fleet, marking a significant milestone in enhancing Pakistan's maritime logistics capabilities. This tanker, with a deadweight tonnage of 112,051 tonnes, was added through PNSC's subsidiary, Lahore Shipping Pvt Ltd, and is expected to bolster the corporation's cargo carrying capacity. The induction follows the earlier addition of M.T Quetta on February 10, 2026, and M.T Karachi in January, as PNSC aims to expand its fleet from 12 to 20 vessels by the end of 2026, reinforcing its operational capabilities in medium-range crude oil transportation (ProPakistani, 2026).
