PN already has 4 small Coastal tankers.

They are operating the fleet with 2 tankers presently, and when this one is commissioned one of the old one's will be retired.
2 Fleet tankers/Oilers are enough with the number of ships we have at present.

But if we say:
15 Frigates
11 Corvettes
11 FAC
16 SSKs
11 Coastal SSKs

2 Navy Commodores promoted as Rear Admirals
Observer Report

Tuesday, January 14, 2014 - Islamabad—Commodore Moazzam Ilyas and Commodore Muhammad Amjad have been promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral with immediate effect.

Rear Admiral Moazzam Ilyas was commissioned in the Operations Branch of Pakistan Navy in Dec 1984. During his distinguished career, Rear Admiral Moazzam Ilyas has served on various important operational billets, both ashore and afloat. His notable appointments include Command of Guided Missile Destroyers PNS BABUR & BADR and Fast Attack Missile Boats JALALAT, HIMMAT and HAIBAT. His staff appointments include Assistant Chief of Naval Staff (Operations), Assistant Chief of Naval Staff (Plans) and Chief Staff Officer to Commander Pakistan Fleet. He has also served as Naval & Air Attaché at Iran.

Rear Admiral Muhammad Amjad was commissioned in the Operations Branch of Pakistan Navy in June 1985 and won the coveted Sword of Honour. During his distinguished career, Rear Admiral Muhammad Amjad has served on various Command & Staff appointments which include Commanding two Frigates PNS BADR & PNS TARIQ and 18th Destroyer Squadron. His staff appointments include Director Naval Operations at Naval Headquarters and Principal Secretary to Chief of the Naval Staff. The Admiral has also performed the duties of Chief Naval Overseer at Shanghai (China) for construction of Frigates for Pakistan Navy.

But if we say:
15 Frigates
11 Corvettes
11 FAC
16 SSKs
11 Coastal SSKs

We don't have this many ships. So unless and until we do, 2 tankers are enough.

Karachi
KSEW starts building 12-tonne pusher tug for Pakistan Navy
Tuesday, January 21, 2014


Karachi
The steel-cutting ceremony of the 12-tonne Bollard Pull Pusher Tug being built for the Pakistan Navy was held at the Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KSEW) on Monday.

The pusher tug, which is fitted with robust fenders for optimal tugging capacity, is 16.89 metres in length and has a gross weight of 63 tonnes. Speaking as chief guest on the occasion, Commander Karachi (COMKAR) Vice Admiral Khawaja Ghazanfar Hussain lauded the fact that the KSEW has secured the third such order in the space of two years, stating that the decision reflects the navy’s confidence in the capabilities of the shipyard.

He also appreciated the dedicated efforts being put in by the KSEW management and workforce for timely completion of all building, repair or engineering projects. Vice Admiral Hussain announced a Rs 20,000 cash prize for the best workers of the shipyard, while also assuring the KSEW management of complete support from the COMKAR Command.

In his welcome address, KSEW Managing Director Rear Admiral Syed Hasan Nasir Shah said that the project is completely self-sufficient and no technical or financial assistance is being sought from foreign shipyards.

“The KSEW is handling five shipbuilding projects, including a 17,000 tonnes fleet tanker, a 32 tonnes Bollard Pull Tug that is ready for delivery and 22 bridge erection boats for the Pakistan Army,” he said.

“KSEW has also re-launched into the heavy engineering industry and projects of the Civil Aviation Authority, Pakistan Railways and local private industries are also being worked upon. Similarly, machinery is also being made for sugar production plants including the Nawabshah Sugar Mills.” Rear Admiral Shah said the KSEW’s ship repair division was currently handling ships of the PN fleet at Karachi Port Trust (KPT) and Port Qasim, as well as foreign ships.

These Tugs along with other equipment we can make should be offered to friendly nations. And start marketing today...
