Hutchison Ports Pakistan, the country\u2019s only state-of-the-art deep-water container terminal, announced a major upgrade to its operations with a USD 76 million investment program spanning 2026 and 2027. The investment includes two electric remote-controlled Quay Cranes (QCs), 17 electric remote-controlled Rubber Tyre Gantry Cranes (RTGCs), 70 e-trucks, and 50 trailers. As part of efforts to accelerate operational speeds, the terminal has already received its first batch of 20 e-trucks, 10 trailers, a reach stacker, and an empty handler this year.<\/p>\n
This investment marks a major milestone in the terminal\u2019s ongoing modernization initiative. With cumulative investments projected to surpass USD 690 million by the end of 2026, Hutchison Ports Pakistan continues to expand capacity, enhance productivity, and solidify its position as a leading maritime gateway in the region. Beyond commercial growth, this fleet electrification supports Hutchison Ports Group’s global sustainability targets and advances Pakistan’s sustainable development through supply chain decarbonization.<\/p>\n
“Our continuous investment reflects our unwavering commitment to Pakistan\u2019s economic growth and maritime leadership,” said CS Kim, CEO of Hutchison Ports Pakistan. “Working hand-in-hand with MOMA, KPT, and the Government, we are fully focused on turning the Prime Minister\u2019s vision to establish Pakistan as a premier transshipment hub into a reality. By deploying cutting-edge technology, we are enabling faster turnaround times, optimizing cargo clearance, and unlocking long-term economic value for the nation.”<\/p>\n
As part of the broader Hutchison Ports Pakistan upgrade program, the terminal has submitted a proposal to the Government of Pakistan to secure additional land for the implementation of a Centralized Examination Area. This initiative directly supports the maritime agenda of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs (MOMA), Karachi Port Trust (KPT), and the Government of Pakistan to build a high-capacity logistics hub that optimizes trade efficiency and drives regional commercial activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
