Development Plans KPT aims at providing modern and user-friendly facilities to port users for import and export of all types of cargo. Port development plans have conventionally been focused on national trade requirements. However, swift changes in regional shipping trends and global economic conditions call for a repositioning of Karachi Port services to respond to market demands and adapt to the current scenario. Accordingly, KPT visions to transform the port into a modern, competitive and user-friendly port, which would also be a transshipment hub of the region. For realizing this vision Karachi Port has embarked upon a comprehensive port modernization plan.
