I always believed Karachi port is going to remain the busiest port in Pakistan for another 100 years or so due to simple reason that its the biggest city in Pakistan and got the best road connectivity for rest of the country.

I think it is going to play major role in success of CPEC as well since its going to get the Railways project which is technically most cheapest source of transportation after sea and/or pipeline. Best of luck for this terminal

It really doesn't feel like Karachi is the biggest city in Pakistan as I hear most of the progress being made in Lahore and getting more importance in the media but yeah I have seen parts of Karachi and it does feel like Lahore

Best of luck to the port of Karachi and I hope local people will enrich maximum benefit from this terminal

In a nutshell, expect the Karachi and Gwadar port to complement each other.

 

[LA se Karachi]

First in the subcontinent? Impressive.

If you haven't enough courage then don't bother to point out or quote anybody.

Hopefully, the decorum would be maintained. No need to quote any troll, just report, move-on and let the Mods handle the rest.

A good addition. I always thought Pakistan has a lot of trading potential due to its geo strategic location. Gwader port will though replace any port in subcontinent as the busiest port when completed but we need more ports to share the work load and keep more options available to Pakistan in case of any war, or natural calamity or political unrest.

Thats exactly I expect from you labeling foolishness as courageous.

I my self part of sister port of sapt which is Kict work is very very demanding here no space for relaxation here just imagine SAPT will be direct threat to port Qasim under do holding Marrakech line currently operating theatre if sapt get fully operational port Qasim may lose its importance reason why sapt built becoz Kict draught is 16 which can't hold bigger ships like maersk ha so they needed a port at Karachi they built sapt soon they will leave Kict talks are underway with MSC to.operate Kict 9nce hph leaves it

The part that catches my eye is: USD 600 Million Foreign Direct Investment.

These 'investors' are looking to at least double their investments, if not more. I would estimate at least USD 1.2 billion as the money HPH would be looking to make. And that's IF the $600 million figure is correct. Projects of this size usually run risks of going over budget.

But this is a reality that we must live with when our industrial sector is so under developed. I have read elsewhere that our national wealth of minerals is literally being squandered in Baluchistan. Corrupt politicians give generous terms to foreign investors, receive generous kick backs, and the public get duped with the charade of progress.

To be honest, there is no way of knowing if something is fishy about this particular project. But just given the nature of these things, it is hard to believe it will be highly beneficial to us economically.
