KARACHI

Karachi Port Trust has invested heavily in port development and has partnered with international terminal operators to develop its cargo handling facilities. It is the main gateway port for cargo to Pakistan, but the diversion from the main trade lane routes means that it is served by many feeder services and has relatively few direct liners service loop calls. Having recently secured funding from the World Bank, the port is developing new berths and facilities for vessels with drafts up to 16m.

CHENNAI

KRISHNAPATNAM

This port has been designed as a modern gateway to the Eastern Indian market and offers deep water berths with a ‘legacy light’ administration. According to its website “Krishnapatnam Port Company has won the mandate from the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh to develop the existing minor port into a modern, deep water & high productivity port, on BOST basis for 50 years. The port is being built in three phases and currently the second phase of development is underway. The Port has numerous strengths like its area, location, weather and new generation world class port facilities; it will soon be poised to become one of the biggest ports in the world and the largest port in India.”

CHITTAGONG

The main gateway to Bangladesh handling about 92% of import-export trade of the country. As such its importance in the national economy is paramount. The Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) is, at present, a basic services provider (landlord), but that is largely due to the legacy model that it currently operates. However, as the port is so important to the Bangladeshi economy and it would like to serve more direct callers, it would seem to me that it would be open to a new approach and direction to ensure its regional position against the port servicing Calcutta at Halida in India.
