Anchor's Origin

successor organization to the local Pakistani operations of Anchor

Anchor Line also handled the affairs of Italia Marittama S.p.A.(Formerly Lloyd Triestino ) (Italy) which
merged their Karachi operations with Anchor Line in 1967.
The company has a staff of about 30 employees in Karachi, and about

Freight Forwarding business and are actively expanding into related
transportation, shipping, logistics, supply chain management and buying/trading
agency businesses.
