The Karachi Port Trust announced a major overhaul of its cargo handling infrastructure this week, part of a phased modernization plan expected to reduce container processing times by nearly 30 percent within two years. The upgrade includes new automated crane systems, expanded yard storage, and a digital tracking platform for shipment monitoring.
Officials said the project will be rolled out in three stages, starting with the automation of Berth 12 and 14, which currently handle the highest volume of container traffic. Port authorities have partnered with a regional logistics firm to oversee the technical rollout and staff training.
"This is one of the largest infrastructure investments the port has seen in over a decade," said a senior official at the briefing. Industry analysts say the upgrade could significantly improve Pakistan's standing in regional trade competitiveness, particularly as neighboring ports continue to expand capacity.
