Port Terminal Operators
Karachi Port comprises a deep natural harbour with an 11 kilometers long approach channel that provides safe navigation for vessels up to 75,000 tonnes deadweight (DWT). Karachi Port has three wharves; East Wharf with seventeen vessel berths, West Wharf with thirteen vessel berths, and South Wharf with four vessel berths. The maximum depth alongside the berths is currently 11.3 metres. Of these two of the wharves extend in opposite directions along the upper harbour – the East Wharf northeast from Keamari Island and the West Wharf southwest from Saddar town. The two wharves each include a container terminal. The containerized cargo operations started in 1973 at the Karachi Port.
