To carry out important reforms, the government set up the maritime and seaport authority. The capacity and connection of Karachi Port Trust will be improved by an elevated motorway and railway revitalisation.

Officials will launch the Pakistan Single Window Operation for transparency and install state-of-the-art scanners for a 100% container inspection.

Experts say that poor infrastructure at Karachi Port Trust and Port Qasim prevents large cargo ships from docking, leading to slow clearance and high freight charges, making Pakistani Ports uncompetitive.

Global shipping giant Maersk plans to invest $2 billion in Pakistan’s Maritime Sector. Experts stress that timely reforms will boost the economy and attract more investment.
