Port Overview
Karachi is known as the gateway to Asia due to its geographical and strategic location. Karachi city also has the distinction of being the birthplace of the founder of Pakistan, Mohammad Ali Jinnah and was the first capital of Pakistan till 1963. It is now the largest city with a bustling and ever increasing population of over 18 million.
By 1852, Karachi was an established city with a population of about 14,000 with prosperous trade in over-seas markets. However, the existing Karachi Port started taking shape in 1854, when the projects of dredging the main navigable channel and the construction of a mole or causeway joining the main harbour with the rest of the city were undertaken. The construction of the wharves started in 1882, and by 1914 the East Wharves and the Napier Mole Boat Wharf had been completed. During the period between 1927 and 1944, the West Wharves of the Port, the lighterage berths and the ship-repairing berths were constructed. Most of these facilities were rendered obsolete by the time Pakistan came into existence in 1947. Since then, the port administration has embarked on extensive development of the port on modern lines.
Karachi Port is now handling over 11.74 million tons of liquid cargo and 25.45 million tons of dry cargo, including 1,213,744 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) which constitute about 60% of import/ export of the country.

Currently, Pakistan has two operational international deep-sea ports: Karachi Port and Port Qasim. During the coming years, their capacity expansion programs are unlikely to keep pace with the expected growth in demand, resulting in a need for a third port to fill the gap. In particular, Karachi Port has significant limitations mainly due to its location within the populous Karachi city and will not be able to keep up with the ever growing demand in the coming decades.
In the case of Port Qasim, although having substantial space for expansion, its pace of development is hampered by its up-stream location, which is more than 40 km from the open sea, resulting in long turnaround time for incoming ships. This is not an issue for cargoes that are linked to industries located near the port, but it has cost implications for cargoes that have origins and destinations elsewhere.
Against this background, it was deemed timely to construct and
inaugurate a third deep-sea port for Pakistan so as to ensure that
national development is not hampered by a lack of national port
capacity in the future. Given the expected rapid growth in demand
for port capacity, it is likewise important to continue expanding
the capacity of Gwadar port over the coming decades. In 2007,
the Gwadar Port was inaugurated and started functioning. It is
situated on the shores of the Arabian Sea in the city of Gwadar,
located in the Pakistani province of Baluchistan. The port is
located roughly 620 km from Pakistan's largest city and economic
hub, Karachi, and is approximately 120 km from the Iranian border.
It is administratively managed by the Gwadar Port Authority,
however, operationally it has been handed over to a Chinese
company, China Overseas Port Holding Company (COPHC).
The Gwadar Port, currently has three 200 Meter long conventional
berths with a turning basin of 45 m diameter and a 4.5 KM approach
channel that is dragged to 12.5 meters. The port also has all
necessary handling equipment including tug boats, pilot boats
survey vessels, etc.
Expansion under CPEC
Under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor plan, COPHC will
expand Gwadar Port with the construction of nine new multipurpose
berths on 3.2 KM of seafront to the east of the existing
multipurpose berths. COPHC will also build cargo terminals in 12 km
of land to the north and northwest of the site along the shoreline
of the Demi Zirr bay.
In addition, the Gwadar Port dredging project will deepen approach
channels to a depth of 14 meters from the current 12.5 meter depth
that will enable docking of larger ships with a deadweight tonnage
of up to 70,000 at Gwadar Port. It is estimated that till
date, the port has handled over one million ton of cargo which
mainly include construction material for other CPEC projects. COPHC
plans to eventually expand the port's capacity to up to 400 million
tons of cargo per year. Long terms plans for Gwadar Port require a
total of 100 berths to be developed by 2045.

Port Performance
The Gwadar Port has been underutilized for commercial import and
export since its development due to reasons such as distance from
the market places of the country, security and services
availability, etc. Gwadar Porthas so far only handled government
Imports of Wheat Grain (2008) and Fertilizers (2008 -2014) while
currently post-handover to COPHC, it’s only handling project cargo
for its own infrastructure development and expansion projects.
During 2017, the Port has received 145 TEUs (20 feet containers -
Project Cargo), and no general cargo vessel. Nonetheless, with the
completion of few development project by 2019, the Port is expected
to start functioning at its full capacity. A weekly feeder service
to Jabel Ali of COSCO, shipping line, is also expected to start,
however, for the time being no other shipping line except the
Chinese and Arabs have expressed their interest.

Customs at Gwadar Port is well conversant with the procedure of clearance of exempted cargo. Nonetheless, two very important federal departments (Plant Protection and Pakistan Standards Quality Control authority) do not have their presence at Gwadar Port, and in case of any arrival of food especially plant products inspectors from Karachi would have to be taken to Gwadar that may cause additional time and cost for Clearance. Customs at Gwadar doesn’t use the WeBOC for the time being, hence, their procedural turnaround time is almost double than Karachi and Port Qasim. |

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is responsible for the promotion and regulation of Civil Aviation activities and development of infrastructure for safe, efficient, adequate, economical and properly coordinate air service in Pakistan. The CAA plays an important role in the development of a country’s economy by providing fast and efficient access between different parts of the country as well as different destination around the world. Private participation on this front has been encouraged through concession and incentives for development of airports and airlines to increase the availability of air transport services both domestically and internationally it is important to construct and maintain airports in the country to facilitate economic activity in an increasingly globalized world. The following major new/existing airports are being constructed by CAA currently.
New Benazir Bhutto International Airport (NBBIA) Islamabad
The New Benazir Bhutto International Airport (NBBA) will be a state‐of‐the‐art with modular facilities for both domestic and international passengers and cargo capacity to accommodate the projected demands. The facilities planned include Passenger and Cargo Terminal Buildings, Runway System, Aprons, Taxiways, Airfield Lighting System, Air Traffic Control Tower, NAVAIDs, utilities and infrastructure including roads, car parking facilities, power supply systems, storm water drainage, swage treatment plant, etc. The project is planned to be completed by the end of 2012.
New Gwadar International Airport (NGIA)
In order to encourage development of Gwadar, Govt. of Pakistan has approved construction of a new international airport at Gwadar. The Govt. of Pakistan also approved execution of the project as a PSDP scheme. Sultanate of Oman has also agreed to provide a grant of 17.5 M US$ for this project. The entire project is planned to be completed by December, 2012.
Upgrade of Multan International Airport
The facilities including Terminal Building at Multan International Airport are inadequate. CAA has therefore, planned to upgrade the existing infrastructure at the airport for B747/B777 operations on modern lines to support the 21st century aircraft technology and to meet the operational requirements of next 15-20 years. The up-gradation has been completed
Expansion of Peshawar International Airport
Scheme for the up‐gradation and expansion of existing facilities at Peshawar Airport has been prepared by CAA. M/s NESPAK has been appointed as Consultant for Planning, Designing and Supervision of the Project.

For information on road contact details, please see the following link:
4.1 Pakistan Government Contact List
(Sources: Pakistan Transport Plan Study, 2006; Pak Econ Survey,
2010; National Transport Research Center– Deputy Chief of
NTRC)
Road is the dominant mode of inland traffic in Pakistan and carries 91% of passenger traffic and 96% of freight traffic (Source: NHA) . Current road density in Pakistan is 0.32km/km-sq. Pakistan’s road network is vital for the movement of people and goods and plays an important role in integrating the country, facilitating economic growth and reducing poverty. Pakistan has a road network covering 259,618 kilometres including 179,290 KM of high type roads and 80,328 KM of low type roads. Total roads, which were 229,595 KM in 1996‐97, increased to 259,618 KM by 2009‐10 (Jul‐Mar) an increase of 13 percent. A sizable and continuous improvement of the high type road network was observed from 1996‐97 to 2009‐10 (Jul‐Mar). (Pak Econ Survey,2010)
The distance between Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan in the north-east of the country, and Karachi, the provincial capital of Sindh having two important international ports, is about 1, 200 km (PTPS, 2006). This forms the main transport corridor of Pakistan, with the bulk of freight transport passing through it.About 60% of the road network in Pakistan consists of paved roads.
National Highways:
The National Highways of Pakistan consists of all public highways maintained by National Highways Authority under the Ministry of Transport. It maintains over 12,000 kilometres (7,500 mi) of roadways organised into various classifications which crisscross the country and provide access to major population centres. These are not to be confused with provincial highways, which are provincial roads maintained by the respective provinces. Pakistan's national highways include the famous Grand Trunk Road, Indus Highway, Karakoram Highway and Makran Coastal Highway.
All national highways in Pakistan are pre-fixed with the letter 'N' (for "National") followed by the unique numerical designation of the specific highway (with a hyphen in the middle), e.g. "N-5". Each numerical designation is separated by five numerals, i.e. N-5, N-10, N-15, etc.
National Highways are distinct from 'Strategic Highways', which begin with the prefix 'S' and are owned, controlled and operated by the Ministry of Defense.

Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits
Weighbridges
NHA has 54 weigh stations to enforce axle load limits. Currently the fine for overloading is about Rs. 100 per ton, but there are many problems with enforcing these fines due to the weigh stations being located in remote areas in many cases.
Operators and drivers often negotiate these fines in case of large amounts of overloading. Another issue is that there is often limited space for unloading at the weigh station, as well as limited parking space for overloaded trucks.
Follow below link for a listing of weighbridges in the country:
http://www.phonebook.com.pk/dynamic/search.aspx?SearchType=kl&k=Weighbridge&l=Pakistan
Axle Load Limits
The National Highways Safety Ordinance 2000 stipulates maximum axle loads and tyre pressures:
- Front axle – 5 tonnes
- Single axle – 12 tonnes
- Tandem axle – 22 tonnes
- Tridem axle – 33 tonnes
- Tyre pressure rear axle 120 psi
- Tyre pressure – front axle 100 psi
Some concessions were allowed on National Highways through agreement with the NHA, but none on the motorway.

There are 14 National Highways (8,600 km), 5 Motorways (767 km), and two Strategic Roads (270km) in Pakistan as listed in the tableabove.
N5 is the longest and most important National Highway. N-55 is the second longest National Highway. N-25 is an important international and national highway connecting Karachi with Quetta and Chaman on the Afghanistan border.
There are many topographical obstacles on the National Highways. For example, the Kohat tunnel has only 2 lanes despite the importance of N-55. N-70 has a very dangerous mountainous section between D.G.Khan and Fort Munro, where on a winding section, rocks stick out over the road, and slopes are very steep.
The Khushalgarh Bridge over the River Indus on N-80 is old and narrow. This bridge crosses its access roads at right angles, disallowing container trucks to pass over it. The Lowari Rail Tunnel Project is underway to overcome such topographical obstacles on N-45. The Malakand Tunnel (N-45) and the Lakpass Tunnel ( N-25) are also planned to improve road transport. Many new bridges over the River Indus and other big rivers are proposed.
The major function of National Highways is to carry inter-provincial traffic or long distance traffic along national corridors, connecting the major cities. Accordingly, National Highways have many congested cities as bottlenecks along their routes. Many bypasses have been constructed in major cities for National Highways to avoid congestion. However, soon after opening a bypass for a city, the city begins to grow along the bypass, and the growth continues until the bypass soon ceases to function properly. This is where more controlled access to national highways could alleviate the situation.
NHA plans to develop a network of full access controlled Motorways as a new economic corridor to provide fast transportation of goods and passengers. The total length of the planned Motorway network is 2,734 km.
Issues: Overloading by trucks is a typical phenomenon in the transport sector in Pakistan. It is common for 2-axle trucks, having a high vertical limit on the rear, carry heavy loads to the extent of the dimensional limit instead of the tonnage limit. Overloading causes severe road maintenance issues due to the weight over the capacity of the pavement, as well as unwanted road accidents.
International corridors

2.3.1 Gwadar Road Assessment
Since the inauguration of Makran Coastal Highway (N10), Gwadar City has been connected to the entire country/region via Karachi (Eastern Route) and Quetta (Western Route). The Highway is around 655 km paved single carriage road, and passes by the Arabian Sea coastline of Pakistan. It connects with major upcountry routes at two locations and continues upward.
At Liari/Zero Point it terminate into RCD (Quetta - Karachi) highway. No Major cities on route except Ormara, a small coastal town. At Kapper it turns towards Turbat and Hoshab and converts into Motorway (M8), Hoshab onwards it continues towards Quetta and Bella via N85. Form Turbat it also takes a turn towards Iran.
Currently, Gwadar from Karachi through N10 is commutable within a smooth none-stop drive of eight hours (LTV), however, with any increase in traffic the drive time shall increase as road is only 2 lane (30 Foot) wide and will not be able to accommodate projected traffic from Gwadar Port and vice versa.
There are no regular fuel stations, Workshops and Rest area on route, nonetheless, smuggled fuel of low quality is available at certain points.
The National Highway Authority (NHA) was created, in 1991, through an Act of the Parliament, for planning, development, operation, repair and maintenance of National Highways and Strategic Roads specially entrusted to NHA by the Federal Government or by a Provincial Government or other authority concerned.
NHA sublets and governs the construction and one of major national organization is FWO (frontier works organization). Frontier Works Organization (FWO), today’s most versatile and vibrant construction frm, was established on 31 October 1966 to wrought a miracle and carve out a modern highway, the Karakoram Highway, across crags and crevices of the highest mountain ranges of the world.

2.4 Pakistan Railway Assessment
Pakistan Railway Assessment
The Pakistan Railways (PR) network is comprised of 7, 791 route kilometers; 7, 346km of broad gauge, and 445 km of metre gauge. There are 633 stations in the network, 1,043km of double-track sections (in total) and 285 km of electrified sections. The section of the network Karachi-Lodhran (843km) and 193km of other short sections are double tracks, and 286km from Lahore to Khanewal is electrified. The PR network is also connected to three neighbouring countries: Iran at Taftan, India at Wagha, and Afghanistan at Chaman and Landi Kotal.
The Main Line (official route name) connects the following major stations: Karachi, Multan, Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Peshawar. The existing Pakistan Railway network is shown below:
Out of the 7,791 km railway network, double track sections account for 1,043km in total and electrified sections for 285km. The network is classified into 5 sections: Primary A ( 2,124km), Primary B ( 2,622km), Secondary (1,185km), Tertiary (1,416km), and Metre Gauge (439km). The double track sections are only 1,043km and mostly located in the most critical section (Karachi City – Lahore City).
Most of the tracks along the PR network are laid on embankments. There are a total of 14,570 bridges of which 22 bridges are recognized as large scale bridges. Almost all of these were constructed a century ago, and now require rehabilitation work. The PR has 520 diesel locomotives, 23 electric locomotives, and 14 steam locomotives. Most of these are aging and require upgrades.
The signaling system is insufficient for the current operations, and neither is the telecommunication system. There is no back up system, many staff are required to operate the system, and there is low night visibility and restricted train speed. There is a very low priority given by PR for the extension and rehabilitation of the electrified sections. Long distance freight and passenger trains have considerable delays. The PR passenger transport faces severe competition from road transport, and often enough revenue cannot be generated to sustain the system. Unless the PR undergoes major reforms, this mode of transport will become the less preferable choice for inter-city transport of passengers.

The present government came into power in 2013 and inherited 465 locomotives of which 120 were operational. The Govt with concerted efforts now 200 locomotives are operational. To restructure the railways the Government of Pakistan signed an agreement with Chinese led Consortium worth $100 million under which China is to export 69 modern locomotive engines to Pakistan to modernize Pakistan's railway fleet. 23 Locomotives have arrived and inducted in service.
International routes
Completed
- India - Thar Express to Karachi and the more famous Samjhauta Express international train from Lahore, Pakistan to Amritsar (Attari) and Delhi, India. The weekly Thar Express also runs between Karachi and Bhagat Ki Kothi (near Jodhpur, Rajasthan).
- Iran - A 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) railway line runs from Zahedan to Quetta, and a 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) line is finished from Zahedan to Kermanin central Iran, linking with the rest of the Iranian rail network. On May 18, 2007, a MOU for rail cooperation was signed by Pakistan and Iran under which the line will be completed by December 2008. Now that the rail systems are linked up at Zahedan, there is a break-of-gauge between the Islamic Republic of Iran Railways 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) tracks and Pakistan Railway's Indian gauge tracks.[14]
Planned
- Afghanistan - Currently there is no rail link to Afghanistan since no railway network is present in that country, however Pakistan Rail has proposed to help build an Afghan Rail Network in three phases. The first phase will stretch from the Chaman to Spin Boldak in Afghanistan. The second phase will extend line to Kandahar and the third phase will eventually connect to Herat. From there, the line will be extended toKhushka, Turkmenistan. The final phase would link 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) with Central Asian 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 27⁄32 in). It is not clear where thebreak-of-gauge station will be. The proposed line will also be connected the port town of Gwadar via Dalbadin and Taftan, thus connecting the port town to Central Asia.
- China - There is no link with China however, on 28 February 2007 contracts were awarded for feasibility studies on a proposed line fromHavelian via the Khunjerab Pass at 4730 m above sea level, to the Chinese railhead at Kashgar, a distance of about 750 km. Turkey - An Istanbul-Tehran-Islamabad passenger rail service was proposed recently. Meanwhile a container train service was launched by the former Prime Minister of Pakistan Yousuf Raza Gilani between Islamabad and Istanbul on 14 August 2009. The first train carried 20containers with a capacity of around 750 tons (738 long tons; 827 short tons) and will travel 6,500 km (4,000 mi) from Islamabad, throughTehran, Iran and on to Istanbul in two weeks' time.[19] According to the Minister for Railways Ghulam Ahmad Bilour, after the trial of the container train service, a passenger train will be launched. There are also hopes the route will eventually provide a link to Europe and Central Asia, and carry passengers.
- Turkmenistan - Via Afghanistan (proposed) - avoiding 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) (or narrow gauge) intervening.
Construction and Maintenance
Organization Set-Up:
The Freight Business Unit is managed by Additional General Manager, who is assisted by heads of the various Freight Department viz., Chief Commercial Manager, Chief Marketing Manager, (Marketing of Freight Service) Chief Traffic Manager (Dry Ports), Deputy Chief Mechanical Engineer/Wagons and Deputy Chief Operating Superintendent (Locomotives).
Corporate Profile:
There are 200 Freight Stations on the this system with 12,000 personal dedicated to provide service to the clients. The Freight Business Unit serves two major Sea Ports, Kiamari and Bin Qasim. Some of the major commodities that are handled include PTA (Chemical for Rayon Manufacturer): Petroleum Oil and Lubricant (POL), Wheat, Coal, Fertilizer, Rock Phosphate, Cement, Sugar, Oil seed Containers and Goods for Transit to Afghanistan.
Corporate Direction:
The Freight Business Unit is a customer oriented department. Its pricing policy is client friendly. All possible efforts are made to reduce cost of transportation and increase revenue through efficiency, innovation and modernization. It proudly serves as the national flag carrier in times of peace, war and calamity.
Pricing Policy:
Pakistan Railways moves cargo on rails at a lesser cost in fuel spent in moving the same cargo by road. The organization by reason of this advantage is able to formulate its pricing policy to the maximum advantage allowable to the customer and the organization. The pricing policy of Railways is that all the commodities be charged on differential basis according to the principle of "What each type of traffic can bear" The rate structure of Pakistan Railways is designed to fix an upper limit while taking into account the basic cost incurred in transport value of commodity, its load ability, susceptible to damage and pilferage along with various other factors. Promotional reduced rates are quoted to provide incentive to move the commodities by Rail of Road. Seasonal reduced rates are quoted to attract the commodity.
Dry Port over the System:
The containerization of cargo and the establishment of Dry Ports were the steps that further facilitated multimodal movement of goods.
Cargo Express:
A Cargo Express Service introduced Since 1974 is now running daily for transportation of general cargo from Karachi City to Badami Bagh / Lahore and Vice Versa. This cargo express has been re-structured with High Capacity and High Speed Wagons along with terminal facilities to increase the present load of 1000 tones to 1600 tonnes A Similar Cargo Service has been initiated between Faisalabad Multan and Karachi and vice versa. Presently, these services are being run five time a week.
