THE ROLE OF KARACHI HARBOR IN STRENGTHENING CPEC: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Keywords:
Karachi Port, Operation, Development, Competition, EfficiencyAbstract
The purpose of this study is to distinguish and assess the performance of existing, emerging, and conceptual, commercially developed technologies at Karachi Port Trust (KPT) which is related to economic development through China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The relevant infrastructure of KPT will facilitate CPEC growth and can play a dynamic role whereas expansion and extension of private terminal operators are equally important to support the CPEC initiative. The increase in efficiency of port operation and its processing requires a rational allocation of resources, transport, and handling equipment. The study analyses the problems, challenges and opportunities of Karachi port’s operation and its efficiency. The economic impacts and opportunities for Karachi Sea Port during the development process of CPEC are also included in this study.References
