Gwadar Seaport, Balochistan,,
To restore Gwadar Port’s operational depth, more than six companies including Chinese enterprises have come forward as their final applications have been submitted for the official bidding to be opened on August 16.
Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) Project Director (Maintenance of Dredging) Mr Nadeem told that the bidding process aims to launch a de-silting operation allowing ships to float well. “Out of more than six firms including Chinese enterprises, a Belgium–based company has also submitted the application,” he added.
The total cost of dredging, he said, will be determined as per cubic meter considering the scale of operation and size of the area to be cleared from siltation. On a query, he said that around Rs. 1 billion has already been allocated for the dredging process in current budget 2022-23.
“The Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) has invited firms or contractors having sufficient experience in the relevant field, financially sound and suitably qualified in maintenance dredging of the navigation channel in accordance with prescribed tender documents” he added.
GPA Director Marine Operation Capt Gull Muhammad also told that expenditure of dredging process will be hinging on many factors including dollar fluctuation, fuel cost and labour charges. He dispelled the impression that Gwadar port functionality to deal with ships has been badly hampered. He admitted the fact that Gwadar Port lost its 14.5 metre natural operational depth but clarified that the depth has not been depleted to 11.4 metre as claimed. “Within two weeks, Gwadar port handled a ship with a draught of 11.6 metres easily” he added. He further mentioned that the last time dredging operation got underway in 2015.
China Overseas Port Holding Company (COPHC) official said that undoubtedly, no de-silting activity has taken place in the last 7 years. However, it would be an overstatement to claim that the depth of the port has shrunk to mere 11.4 meters from 14.5 meters and subsequently faded away its capacity to handle mother vessels. Indeed, he said that the port continues to berth and process mega-vessels, though with lesser frequency. Recently, two bulk carriers, Bao Quan with a draught of 11.6 meters and Teera Bhum with 10.9 meters draught and a deadweight tonnage of 24,238 tons efficiently berthed at Gwadar port.
Gwadar International Terminal Limited's (GITL) Terminal official said that since 2015 COPHC came into action, Gwadar Port has hosted and handled more than “366” ships and vessels. By the end of March, current year, Teera Bhum, a feeder service of COSCO liner, with 12.4 meters of draught berthed alongside, he added.

MUZAFFARABAD: Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Barrister Sultan Mahmood and Prime Minister Sardar Tanveer Ilyas on Wednesday jointly performed the groundbreaking of the long awaited ‘dry port complex’ in Mirpur.
The dry port in the lakeside city, which is not only home to hundreds of thousands of UK based expatriates but also an industrial hub of the liberated territory, had been the demand of local and non-local importers, industrialists and traders for the past three decades and on a number of occasions in the past the federal government had shown willingness for its establishment.
However, efforts in this regard picked up momentum after Mr Ilyas took over as AJK premier some four months ago mainly because of his experience and expertise in business, investment and trade related affairs.
Mr Ilyas, a real estate tycoon whose family runs vast businesses in Pakistan as well as Saudi Arabia, had also served as adviser to the chief minister Punjab on affairs related to business, investment and trade before formally venturing into the AJK politics early last year.
According to Mirza Wajahat Rasheed Baig, AJK secretary for commerce, industry and minerals, the dry port complex is being built on a more than 110-kanals plot at an estimated cost of Rs815.8 million.
He said the prime minister had strictly directed all the departments concerned to accomplish the complex before the stipulated period of 18 months.
In his speech on the occasion, the prime minister said thathe felt relieved that this vitally important project which had been pending for the past 32 years had finally seen the light of day in his rule.
“It [establishment of the dry port] was your dream, it was our dream and it’s being translated into reality at our hands because we have a deep rooted commitment with our people,” he said to the audience amid applause.
The AJK PM asserted that the landmark project would open up new vistas of socio-economicdevelopment and employment opportunities for the Kashmiri people as well as those residing in the adjoining areas of Pakistan.
He said that an industrial zone would also be established in Mirpur which would be connected with the industrial areas of Punjab through a network of state of the art arteries.
“It will not only ease inter and intra country trade but also augment revenue generation in our state,” he said.
Announcing that an international airport would also be built in Mirpur, the AJK premier disclosed on
the occasion that a US based businessman of Kashmiri origin had also obtained the license for the liberated territory’s first international private airline.
“Since I have been an ardent advocate from the day one of tapping our rich potential for the benefit of its people, I was offered by the national institutions soon after the installation of our government that if we were willing to launch our own airliner, they will fully facilitate us in all respects,” he said.
