Had MV Alpha Afovos been delayed? or was it doing short repaeated trips?

Here it says it should have arrived Port Qasim on Friday 7th November.

Four vessels MT Al-Salam-II, MT Sulawesi Palm, MV Alpha Afovos and MV Bison Express carrying diesel oil, palm oil, coke and live cattle are due to arrive on Friday.

In your link it states the ship was scheduled to arrive on Friday. So if the report was dated November 7th Friday, would Friday mean November 14th ? You would think a report written on Friday that referred to that Friday would refer to it as today. Confusing to say the least. At any rate, we have confirmation that the reported ship name as spelled by the news reports, was in Qasim Port Pakistan earlier this month. It may have also paid a visit to the Karachi Port under the name MV Alpha Aforovos about 6 weeks ago. And to confuse the situation further a ship named Alpha Afovos (without the MV) has been reported in Vancouver and BUENOS AIRES months ago. My guess is the Alpha Afovos is a completely different ship. We need someone affluent in the maritime naming nomenclature to sort this stuff out. Good luck. Will check in later.
