Karachi

A Board of Trustees, the Karachi Port Trust, manages the Port of Karachi. Karachi International Container Terminal offers the capacity to handle 525 thousand TEUs of containerized cargo a year, and expansions are underway that will increase that to 700 thousand TEUs. Present berths that are 973 meters long have a draft of 14-meters for container ships. The bulk cargo terminal handles three million tons of cargo a year, and plans are underway to expand its capacity as well with additional quays and over 21 hectares of terminal area.

The Port of Karachi is upgrading to handle new and future generations of container ships by dredging for draft at the berths to 18 meters and an additional 3.75 kilometers of quay wall. The port is creating a satellite facility for containers, general and bulk cargo, cargo processing, and customs operations. It is also adding a second container terminal with 600 meters of quay with 13.5-meter draft and capacity to handle 450 thousand TEUs.
