Dawood Yousuf Moorad, founder, publisher and editor-in-chief of Moorad Shipping News, passed away on May 8, 2021, at the age of 84, bringing to an end a life of hard work and dedication.

Until his last days, he continued working and was dedicated to Moorad Shipping News, launched as a four-page newspaper in 1956. He is survived by three sons and two daughters.

After printing the newspaper, Moorad would personally deliver it on a bicycle to all businesses related to the Karachi shipping and trade industry. With his diligence and hard work, the newspaper gradually became Pakistan’s leading shipping and commercial bi-weekly publication.
