KARACHI: PNSC remains committed to the wellbeing of its seafarers despite the challenges posed by Covid-19.

While crew changeovers and repatriation of seafarers who have completed their contracts remain a serious challenge for ship-owners worldwide, PNSC has successfully managed crew change of its vessel MV Sibi (Bulk Carrier) at Dakar, Senegal on 23rd July, 2020.

The crewmembers who signed off safely arrived Pakistan on 27th July, 2020. Earlier, crew change on MV Multan was undertaken by diverting the vessel to Karachi.
