Port of Karachi

The Port of Karachi extends along 32 kilometers of natural harbor, containing 41 berths and maintaining a water depth of 16 meters for vessel operations.

The British administration initiated port infrastructure development in 1854, implementing dredging operations and constructing wharves to support maritime trade activities.

The port functions as a central hub connecting Pakistan with global maritime routes, facilitating trade between South Asia and international markets through its strategic location.

The facility processes 60 percent of Pakistan's cargo traffic, managing approximately 25 million tons of goods annually through its container terminals and cargo handling stations.

The port maintains multiple specialized terminals including 30 dry cargo berths and three liquid cargo facilities, enabling simultaneous handling of different cargo categories.
