All arrangements are in place to offload the wheat to be transported across the country for domestic use.The ship arrived here with 72000 tonnes of wheat but before it was anchored, 20,000 tonnes wheat was off loaded from it and transported to Karachi. The port went fully functional on 21 December 2008[1], when a ship carrying fertilizer from Qatar docked.
