Those were the reports I was looking at. Thanks for the links. Looking at the pages again, it appears that both ships were scheduled to arrive at the Qasim Port which is the sister port to the Karachi Port, apparently. Both in Pakistan. So both ships, MV Alpha Afovos and MV Alpha Aforovos were reported to visit the Port of Qasim in Karachi. Full name of port is PORT MOHAMMAD BIN QASIM. My guess is the Aforovos was a misspelling or typed incorrectly.

for those who are not aware MV stands for motor vessel, as in fuel burning. As opposed to SS for steamship.
