Discover the Miski: Ratings & Maritime News

The ship 'Miski' has made a seamless transition from Karachi port to its new destination, Gaddani Shipbreaking Yard, located in Balochistan. Following its relocation, the vessel is expected to undergo demolition activities by December 6. This maneuver marks another step in the ongoing maritime operations at one of Pakistan's most prominent shipbreaking sites.

On October 3rd, the maritime vessel 'Miski' was auctioned off under the orders of the Sindh High Court due to multiple allegations against its owner. The ship's crew has reportedly gone without wages for two years, raising concerns about their treatment. Additionally, the vessel had been mortgaged by its owners, and outstanding payments for fuel sourced from its last port of call in Sharjah remain unpaid. This situation underscores the importance of accountability and adherence to maritime regulations.

In a recent ruling from the High Court of Sindh, the Miski has been officially sold as part of admiralty suit Nos. 2, 3, 6, and 7 of 2018. During a hearing on August 27, the court sanctioned the sale to the highest bidder, M/s Ayan Shipbreakers, for a total of 107 million Pakistan rupees. The court also mandated that the owner of the cargo currently aboard the Miski must take responsibility for the cargo's transshipment at their own expense. Following the cargo discharge and the resolution of legal claims filed by the crew aboard the vessel, the Miski will be formally transferred to the buyer.
