Lost ships
- Fakira was lost in 1956 in the China Sea.[7]
- Minocher Cowasjee foundered on 24 January 1957 in the Indian Ocean.[6]
Burntisland Shipbuilding Company
The penalties imposed on the Burntisland Shipbuilding Company in Scotland for the delays in completion of the Ohrmazd in 1968 proved too much for the Scottish company and caused it to go into liquidation.[8]
Court cases
The company's agent, M.N. Sidhwa was involved in an income tax court case in August 1962, which was decided against it.[9]
Nationalisation
During the nationalisation drive of Prime Minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the company was merged into Pakistan National Shipping Corporation (PNSC). The owners took this nationalisation to court, whereby the Supreme Court of Pakistan ruled in their favour.[10] The Government assessed compensation at Rs. 97.012 million (2008).[10]
