What Crew Members Say About Bertie

On September 7, 2019, the container ship 'Nordmed' was involved in a maritime accident after colliding with a local fishing vessel within the busy channel of Karachi Port. The impact caused the fishing vessel to capsize, prompting a swift response from the Karachi Port Trust Operations Team. Under the leadership of KPT Harbour Master, all 12 fishermen aboard were successfully rescued. In the wake of the incident, an official investigation has been initiated to determine the circumstances leading to the collision. Fortunately, the port channel has been cleared, allowing for the smooth passage of vessels. Later that afternoon, the 'Nordmed' successfully docked at Karachi International Container Terminal (KICT) and commenced its cargo operations.
