Karachi Port Authority

Functions

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.
