Hutchison Ports Pakistan is the country’s first deep-water container terminal, designed to accommodate super post panamax ships. The port is situated at the Keamari Groyne basin and provides the most convenient access to large vessels entering Karachi.

The US$1.4 billion terminal operates as a partnership between Hutchison Ports Pakistan, a member of the Hutchison Ports network, and Karachi Port Trust.

Hutchison Ports has invested US$600 million to develop the terminal and install the latest technology, whereas Karachi Port Trust has invested over US$350 million on reclamation work and dredging.

Hutchison Ports Pakistan also works with Pakistan Customs to improve clearance systems and procedures and enable easier and faster cargo clearance for end users.

With this high-tech, deep-water facility at Karachi Port, Pakistan has the basis to compete with global peers as a modern trading economy. (Courtesy – Company’s web)
