 FUNCTIONS
Ports play an important role in the logistics supply
chain and provide interfaces for the change of mode
of transportation of commodities from sea to land
through rail, trucks, pipelines etc.
 Ports are recognized as the spring boards for the
economic development of a country. This implies
that the port must look beyond the narrow limits of
the port location and must have fast, reliable ,
flexible and cost friendly intermodal connections
with inland corridors.
 The Indus corridor starting with the two major ports
in the south , i-e Karachi Port and Port Qasim which
handle about 95 % of Pakistan’s external trade and
proceeding North carries almost 65 % of Pakistan's
total freight traffic.
INTRODUCTION/ROLE &
FUNCTIONS
This makes a collective contribution of almost 85
% of Pakistan’s GDP.
 These ports acts as a gateway to the sea for
landlocked Afghanistan and has the potential to
be an important trade corridor for the Central
Asian States. This further contributes in the
growth of country’s economy.
 In expanding business, to capture new markets,
to look beyond the national trade and seeking
share in the global volume of containerized trade
is viable for country`s economy.

 PORT QASIM
• PQA is primarily a service oriented
organization. The port provides shore based
facilities and services to international shipping
lines and other concerned agencies in the
form of adequate water depth in the channel,
berths/terminals, cargo handling equipment,
godowns, storage areas and providing
facilities for safe day and night transit of
vessels.

• PQA has also been instrumental in

promoting industrialization in the country. So
far 275 industrial and commercial complexes

PORT QASIM
Port Qasim is
managed by Port
Qasim Authority. It
is Pakistan's second
busiest port,
handling about 40%
of seaborne trade
requirements of
Pakistan. PQA has
strategy i.e. increase portlaunched
parametersmulti-
to
accommodate larger vessels facetedto benefit from
economy of scales, strengthen the port with requisite
crafts and build additional berths/terminal for
capacity enhancement.
PORT QASIM

Some of the development projects include:

Deepening of navigation channel, acquisition of tugs,
Establishment of 2nd Container Terminal, Grain &
Fertilizer Terminal, LPG Terminal , Coal &
Clinker/cement Terminal, World Trade Centre and
Development of Waterfronts etc.
GWADAR
PORT
GWADAR PORT
o GWADAR Port is located at the mouth of the
Persian Gulf, just outside the Strait of Hormuz, near
the key shipping routes in and out of the Persian
Gulf. The surrounding region is home to around
two-thirds of the world's
Phase I (2002-2006): oil reserves.
Completed in December 2006
• 3 x Multipurpose Berths (capacity: Bulk Carriers
of 30,000 DWT and Container Vessels of 25,000
DWT)
• Approach Channel: 4.5 km long dredged to
12.5m depth with a turning basin of 450 m.
• Service Berth: 1 x 100 m length.
• Related port infrastructure and handling
equipment, pilot boats, tugs, survey vessels, etc.
GWADAR PORT
Phase II (yet to be constructed):
• 4 x Container Berths
• 1 x Bulk Cargo, Grain and Ro-Ro Terminals each
• 2 x Oil Terminals (capacity: 200,000 DWT ships
each)
• Approach Channel: To be dredged to 14.5m
depth

• Following the completion of Phase I, the

Government of Pakistan in 2007 signed a 40-year
agreement with PSA (Port of Singapore Authority) for
the development and operation of the tax-free port
and duty-free trade zone. In order to compete with
regional peers, the port fee was kept low by allowing
a wide range of tax concessions including duty-free
imports of materials and equipment for construction
GWADAR PORT
• Later the multi-billion dollars contract was
formally awarded to China in 2013. Under the
contract, the port will remain the property of
Pakistan but would be operated by the state-run
Chinese firm — China Overseas Port Holding
Company (COPHC). According to the agreement,
the Gwadar Port Authority would get a fixed share
i.e. 9% of the revenue from cargo and maritime
services, and 15% of the revenue earned from the
free-trade zone.

• Gwadar is strategically located on the coast

opposite end of the Gulf of Oman which is an
important route for oil tankers bound for Japan and
western countries out of Gulf.
GWADAR PORT
• Since outflow of goods from western China and
Central Asia reaching Gwadar will pass through this
overland trade route, Pakistan could earn millions of
dollars a year in terms of port and cargo handling
charges and also as freight charges for import
cargoes and export goods.

• Gwadar has the potential to acquire the status of

a center piece as a gate to Strait of Hormuz. Gwadar
has the potential to be developed into a full-fledged
regional hub and a trans-shipment port in the future.
CONCLUSION
o Opportunities of logistics services lie in
improvement of complete logistics system, i-e,
the infrastructure ( ports, railways , road,
warehousing, dry ports and pipelines etc).
Moreover the services ( Shipping and port
services , trucking, railways, handling,
warehousing, customs, insurance, banking, inland
container depots and freight forwarding ). The
procedures includes, legislation, regulation,
administration, documentation, data etc.

o Present government policies support the growth

of shipping , port and terminal operation .
