Pakistani authorities plan to remove fuel from stranded ship
Pakistani port authorities plan to remove fuel from a merchant ship that ran aground in rough seas last week before making a salvage attempt in the middle of next month, an official said on Monday.
Panama registered M.V. Heng Tong 77 was anchored in Pakistan’s territorial waters off Karachi for a crew change on July 21 when it lost anchors due to rough seas and drifted towards the shore, Karachi Port Trust (KPT) said.
“By the time the vessel informed KPT of her drifting, it was already in shallow waters,” the port authority said in a tweet. The ship is carrying 118 tons of bunker fuel.

WHEN the television had come to Pakistan in 1964, its transmission time was limited to a few hours in the evening. With the passage of time, more channels came along, and today there are about a hundred of them functioning round the clock. Almost every channel telecasts programmes for eight hours daily, and the content is re-telecast twice to complete the 24-hour cycle.
There are only two options: first, the programme schedule should be extended to 12 hours and repeated only once for the next 12 hours. Second, the present eight-hour cycle should be repeated only once, and not twice, to save time and electricity.
