The cargo ship, identified as MV Yuan Hang Wei Ye, arrived carrying around 34,000 tons of goods. According to port authorities, the vessel transported more than 20,000 cargo items to Pakistan. Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs said that Gwadar Port is steadily emerging as a key center for regional trade, especially as uncertainty continues to affect shipping routes in the Gulf region
