  • Chapter 9. PORT PLAN
    Pakistan Transport Plan Study in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (PTPS) Chapter 9. PORT PLAN 9.1 Planning Approach 9.1.1 Function Allotment of Port Activities between Karachi and Qasim Port The ports of Karachi and Qasim have the same hinterland and transportation system. The port of Karachi is in a sense a mature port, opened a century ago. Thus, most of Pakistan's port related functions and assets have been developed here, and now handles 64 % of Pakistan’s seaborne trade and 66 % of the country’s container trade. The port of Qasim, meanwhile, was established in the early 1980’s in order to relieve the heavy congestion at the port of Karachi and was planned to be a maritime industrial cargo handling port. However, at present, the port handles not only industrial cargoes but also container and wheat. As for transportation of valuable general cargoes such as machinery and chemicals, not only economical but also swift, safe and convenient transportation measures are essential. For that purpose, containerization has progressed remarkably in international shipping. This worldwide tendency is expected to take hold in Pakistan also. In 2003/04, a total container volume of about 1.2 million TEUs was handled at the ports of Karachi and Qasim with the specialized container terminals and conventional berths. Container cargo traffic at Karachi port steadily increased from 505,000 TEUs in 1997/98 to 824,000 TEUs in 2003/04. Meanwhile, with a container terminal at the Qasim port, the container handling volume rapidly increased from 133,000 TEUs in 1997/98 to 421,000 TEUs in 2003/04.
