Hutchison Ports Pakistan is actively driving the government’s vision to position Karachi as a premier regional maritime hub, announcing the arrival of fresh transshipment volumes across a series of newly scheduled vessel calls.
The terminal has recently received two new transshipment vessels, with a third scheduled to arrive in the first week of June. Together, these operations will bring in 4,000 TEUs of new transshipment volume, building securely on the 10,330 TEUs successfully handled since March 2026.
This continuous operational surge directly aligns with the vision of Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and the proactive leadership of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs (MoMA) Minister, Muhammad Junaid Anwar Chaudhry. Working alongside the Karachi Port Trust (KPT), these strategic initiatives aim to attract global carriers and elevate Pakistan’s blue economy.
Crucially, this milestone is being achieved seamlessly while concurrently managing the terminal’s routine, high-volume domestic import and export traffic with zero disruption.
Commenting on the momentum, CS Kim, CEO of Hutchison Ports Pakistan, stated, “The arrival of this new transshipment volume of 4,000 TEUs adds great momentum to the 10,300 TEUs we have already handled since March. This growth is a clear testament to the collaborative efforts of MoMA, KPT, and the vital support from Pakistan Customs in transforming Karachi into a highly competitive transshipment port. Backed by these strong policy incentives and our high-efficiency infrastructure, we remain committed to scaling these operations and elevating Pakistan’s global maritime position.”
By seamlessly absorbing these new vessel volumes alongside daily trade demands, Hutchison Ports Pakistan continues to reinforce its role as a vital, high-performance gateway in the regional maritime network.
