KARACHI: A record loading of cement for export was witnessed at Karachi Port when 14,203 metric tonnes of cement was loaded in “MV Bulk Arrow” at West Wharf berth number 25. Presently this is a highest recorded loading of bulk cement from the port against the previous loading of 12,872 tonnes a day. The KPT is gradually transforming the port with latest facilities and equipments, which has started paying dividends and confidence of the trading community. Under the guidelines of present government’s export friendly policies, exports from the port are steadily increasing day-by-day resulting in strengthening of the national economy. KPT enjoys good relations with all its stakeholders and users. At a time which many world economies are under recession, bulk cement exports from Pakistan has been standing out and holding the national flag high. Globally, the throughput of loose bulk cement is more than 80 percent whereas the rest is all in bagged form. Seeking to capture this lucrative chunk of the market, KPT facilitated Lucky Cement, which established cement silos at berth number 25, which is a good example of modernization as well as public private partnership. Other works on mega projects are underway at KPT. These will reshape the port according to future requirements and needs of the trading community. staff report
