The government has established a Maritime and Sea Port Authority as part of a comprehensive reform plan designed to address the infrastructure challenges in the maritime sector.
The reform plan also includes the rehabilitation of Railways infrastructure and the construction of elevated expressways to increase the capacity of the Karachi Port Trust.
As part of the plan, a complete inspection of containers will be conducted, using modern scanners, to reduce port clearance times, along with the establishment of a Single Window Operation to enhance transparency in port clearance.
The plan will also address the issue of large ships anchoring due to infrastructure problems.
Meanwhile, the global company Maersk has expressed interest in investing two billion dollars in the Pakistani Maritime Sector.
The reforms in the Maritime Sector are expected to improve the economy and further attract global investment.
