Indian custom officials stopped a Malta-flagged merchant ship, CMA CGM Attila, at Mumbai’s Nhava Sheva port — while it’s bound for Karachi, Pakistan — and seized a Chinese shipment on Jan 23, on the suspicion of being a possible dual use consignment which could be used for Pakistan’s nuclear and ballistic missile programme.
Indian officials suspect that Pakistan is using China as a conduit to procure dual use and restricted items from Europe and the US and masking identities to avoid detection.
Port officials have alerted the Indian defense authorities who inspected the heavy cargo and reported their suspicions, after which the consignment was seized. The seizure falls under the prevention of possible proliferation concerns by Pakistan and China.

The ship was loaded at Shekou port in Shenzhen and was carrying CNC machinery, originally manufactured by an Italian firm.
A red flag was raised by Indian custom officials when they scanned the official documents submitted to port authorities. According to documents like bills of lading and other details of the consignment, the consigner was mentioned as ‘Shanghai JXE Global Logistics Co Ltd’ and consignee was sea and air freight consolidator / third-party logistics provider ‘Pakistan Wings Pvt Ltd’ of Sialkot.
But when Indian officials dug deeper, it was found that the consignment, weighing 22,180 kg, was shipped by Taiyuan Mining Import and Export Co Ltd and it was meant for Cosmos Engineering in Pakistan.
