Hercules Soybean Cargo Set for Towing from Karachi Port Amid Health Concerns

Feb 19, 2020 12:24

On the night of February 19, 2020, the vessel 'Hercules' is scheduled to be towed from Karachi Port to Port Qasim, as confirmed by the Karachi Port Trust Authority. This decision comes in light of concerning health reports from the nearby community, particularly in Keamari, related to exposure from soybean cargo. The operation to move 'Hercules' from Berth number 10 will commence at the necessary water level within the shipping channel. Dr. Iqbal Chaudhry, Director of the International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences (ICCBS) at the University of Karachi, has raised alarms regarding the impact of soybean dust, classified as aeroallergens, on local residents. This advisory follows a tragic series of events in which 14 individuals from various areas in Keamari have succumbed and more than 400 others have been hospitalized due to breathing complications linked to inhalation of toxic substances. Community members have reported alarming symptoms including respiratory difficulties, nasal irritation, watery eyes, and throat discomfort. While the ICCBS continues to investigate the exact source of this toxic exposure, preliminary findings highlight that the adverse reactions reported by residents may be significantly attributed to prolonged exposure to soybean dust. As health experts work on establishing a clearer understanding of the situation, the decision to relocate 'Hercules' has been deemed necessary to keep the local population safe.
