Karach Port Trust---Gate Way to Pakistan

Introduction
The Karachi Port is administered by a Board of Trustees, comprising Chairman and 10 Trustees. The Chairman is appointed by the Federal Government and is also the Chief Executive of Karachi Port Trust. The remaining 10 Trustees are equally distributed between the public and the private sector. The five public sector Trustees are nominated by the Federal Government. The seats for private sector Trustees are filled by elected representatives of various private sector organizations. This way all port users find a representation in the Board of Trustees.

Brief History
Karachi due to its geographical and strategic location is known as the gateway to Asia. Considered as a safe Harbor since time immemorial, Karachi was a small fishing village in early Nineteenth Century. Historians identify it with its proximity to a place from where a part of Alexander's Army, boarded the Greek Flotilla in 326 B.C. The first mention of Karachi as a port is found in an Arabic treatise 'Muhit' on navigation relating to the West Coast of India and the Persian Gulf. Written in 1558, this treatise warns the sailors of whirlpools and advises them to seek safety in Karachi Harbor if they found themselves drifting dangerously. It is also significant to mention that the first Muslim Conqueror of India, Mohammad Bin Qasim, landed at Daibal, in vicinity of Karachi in 711 A.D. Karachi also has the distinction of being the birth place of the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and was the first capital of Pakistan till 1963. It is now the largest city with a bustling and ever increasing population of over ten million. By 1852, Karachi was an established city with a population of about 14,000 with a prosperous trade in over-seas markets. However, the existing Port started taking shape in 1854, when the projects of dredging the main navigable channel and the construction of a mole or causeway joining the main harbor with the rest of the city were undertaken. About 5 years later, construction of Manora Breakwater, Keamari Groyne, the Napier Mole Bridge, Native Jetty and the Chinna Creek were started which gave initial shape to the port. The construction of the wharves started in 1882, and by 1914 the East Wharves and the Napier Mole Boat Wharf had been completed. During the period between 1927 and 1944, the West Wharves of the Port, the lighterage berths and the ship-repairing berths were constructed. Most of these facilities were obsolete by the time Pakistan came into existence in 1947. Since then, the port administration has embarked on extensive development of the port on modern lines. At the time of independence in 1947, the Port capacity was about 1.5 million tons of dry cargo and 1.0 million tons of P.O.L. products per annum. Karachi Port is now handling over 11.74 million tons of liquid cargo and 25.45 million tons of dry cargo, including 1,213,744 TEUs which constitute about 60% of import/ export of the country.

PDWCP Phase-1 - The Concession Agreement

The Phase 1 of PDWCP comprises 4 berths and will have 1500m quay length. A design vessel, (similar to Emma Maersk), of 400 m LOA, 55.0m Beam and l5m Draft with 11,000 TEUs on board, has been used for planning the PDWCP. The channel and berthing face will be dredged to 16m initially, but the Quay wall is designed for 18m depth. The container terminal will have both road and rail connections to the hinterland including the proposed Cargo Village in the Western Backwaters of Karachi Port. The viability of PDWCP with respect to the geographical location of the port was proved when in response to the KPTs request for proposals for setting up of the PDWCP, four world renowned firms responded. After an exhaustive exercise of evaluation of the most competitive bid, M/s Hutchison Port Holdings Limited (HPH) of Hong Kong has been awarded the Concession. HPH is the worlds largest container operator. In 2006, HPH handled 59.1 million TEUs worldwide and of which, 13.1 million were transshipment. HPH operates 257 berths in 45 ports in 23 countries alongwith a number of transportation related service companies. The lease of the terminal will be for an initial period of 25 years extendable for another 25 years, on mutually agreed terms and conditions. M/s. Hutchison Port Holdings Limited (HPH) Hong Kong will be required to develop the site into a full-fledged state of the art Container Terminal capable of receiving and handling Super Post Panamax Container Ships. Terminal Capacity will be 3.1 Million TEUs Expected initial investment by M/s. HPH is US $457 Million. All equipment will be new and current models from internationally accredited manufacturers.
THE SCOPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT BEING CARRIED OUT AT PDWCP BY KPT: Dredging and Reclamation: The dredging and reclamation contract has been signed with

China International Water and Electric Company (CWE). Total 33 million cum dredging including 8 million cum reclamation is planned at a cost of Rs 19 Billion. Completion is scheduled in 2011.

at PDWCP harbour entrance) and Construction of concrete pedestrian access along shore side. To be constructed to accommodate a future -18.0mPD dredged depth at PDWCP harbour entrance. Construction of concrete pedestrian access along shoreside)
Manora Breakwater

To be constructed to accommodate a -18.0mPD dredged depth at Port entrance) Keeping in view the significance of the project, the design parameters have been set keeping in view that the wave conditions at the entrance to the Port of Karachi are Page 12

Karach Port Trust---Gate Way to Pakistan

dominated by southwesterly (180 to 270) offshore and waves propagating from the Indian Ocean.

The design life and standard for the breakwaters are 50 years and the Design standard adopted for a life of 100 years. As per good engineering practice of model test the final design of large breakwater structures have been tested through physical modelling.
Quay Wall Construction: The contract for quay wall been awarded to M/s China Harbour

Engineering Company (CHEC) at a cost of 18 Billion. Completion is scheduled in 2012. A tied bored pile quay wall has been designed, in which the quay wall is to be built using 2.5m diameter circular reinforced concrete piles, restrained by steel anchor ties attached to a piled anchor beam located 50 metres (centre to centre) behind the quay wall. The anchor beam is supported by 1.6m diameter reinforced concrete piles at 2.6 metre centres. The design is selected to use proven technology and good earthquake resistance. The following facilities are provided in relation with the present design:

Karach Port Trust---Gate Way to Pakistan

Summary
Karachi Port is one of those public enterprises in Pakistan which has basic and vital role for the nation as well as for the economy of the country, without which the economic development may become stand-still. Significance of this port for Pakistan becomes more prominent when one takes into account the difficulties of the land locked countries like Afghanistan, Central Asian States and Nepal etc. inconnection with their international trade. In case of our country, which has import oriented economy, struggling to boost up its exports in order to reduce the yawning trade gap, and which has very little prospect of regional trade through land routes, the significance of the Karachi Port becomes more important its major sea port. After 1947, this port jumped to the status of jugular vein for newly created stat and since then it has been functioning as a gateway for its international commerce. If one has a view of the economic of its capacity for dry cargo far before however, containerization came to help and extra burden is being offset, to large extent, in the form of CY container Cargo which constitutes about 50% of the total import container traffic. The burden of the port has also been shed in the way that a considerable volume of dry cargo in build form like, wheat, ores, cement and fertilizers etc. has been shifted to Port Qasim. Two international container terminals i.e. Karachi International Container Terminal & Pakistan International Container Terminals being administrated by private public sector are very useful addition toward upgrading the Karachi Port. These International container terminals are saving lot of time of vessel agents/operators with the use of stat of the art equipment. Another Pakistan Deep Sea Water Container Terminal is also under process project of Karachi Port Trust, which is considered as the Asias biggest container terminal which will make Karachi Port Trust more effective for Pakistans Economy. In spite of this a lot of development which could have made by the authorities but still need to be planned. Even now, it is not too late to make amends for the pas mistake. The Karachi Port still can be developed upto the modern level requirements and it can be introduced into the regional competition if sincere efforts are made. For this purpose the thing of foremost importance is that maximum share in this developmental and operational activities is to be given to the private sector because from decades old traditional bureacratic set up of this administration which has become used to take each step under directions of the Federal Government, cannot be expected any revolution in this direction.
