We are pleased to announce Noble Shipping Services are members in Pakistan. The company are 20 years old and are registered with KCCI (Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry) and PIFFA (Pakistan International Freight Forwarders Association). Experts in project cargo and OOG handling and logistics, as well as other associated services, they are working with several PCN members who gave strong references.

CEO, Capt. Muhammad Inam says; "We were previous members of PCN and managed to keep striving during the Covid-19 pandemic. We remained committed to PCN and did not even think of joining another network despite consistent offers. We cherish the memories of our association with PCN and are very keen to reunite with the family members."

"Noble Shipping Services was established in 2002 at the port city of Karachi with a vision to propose the best solutions in complex situations where other service providers have been unable. Since our inception, we have successfully catered to the versatile needs of our clients who come from various segments of project cargo and heavy lift industries.

We take pride of representing the most-renowned carriers from all around the world, ranging from landing crafts to heavy lift carriers, dredgers to semi-submersible, NVOCC to trampers and tankers. Operating at the three commercial ports in Pakistan - Karachi, Port Qasim and Gwadar, our professional team provides all related services under one roof with one contact point.

We believe the formula of our success is: A Professional Team + Extensive Planning + Excellent Equipment + Dependable Contingencies = 100% Results."

"We specialise in project cargo and heavy lift handling and logistics, providing expert services and flexible solutions at competitive prices. Over the years, we have handled numerous successful projects ranging from earth moving machinery to dredgers, from forklifts to heavy-duty cranes, from a submarine hull to locomotives and from mooring buoys to an oil refinery."

A project handled by Noble Shipping Services at Port Qasim earlier this year is photographed in the gallery below.

• Commodity: Machinery for Power & Textile Units
• Total Cargo: 56 Packages / 1,084mt / 4,306cbm
• OOG Cargo: 3 x 185mt each & 1 x 145mt
• Port: Port Qasim (Pakistan)
• Vessel Name: M.V. Alanis

Capt. Muhammad Inam explains; "The 12,000-tonner 'Alanis' is geared with 2 x 180mt hydroelectric cranes mounted on the port side and the vessel was berthed in order to facilitate the discharging of 4 heavy engines. We used special slings and spreader beams to safely discharge the over-dimensional cargo using the two cranes in tandem. With restrictions for discharging in daylight only, the operations also had to be temporarily suspended until the next day. The discharging of the light breakbulk packages continued round the clock and was smoothly completed.

Another issue was the open area available was not quite sufficient for the manoeuvring of multi-axel trailers which was further congested by the discharging and stacking of the tween deck pontoons on the shore and wharf. However, we managed to safely and successfully complete the operations."
