Govt Unveils Plans to Expand Gwadar Port

  • On July 2nd, 2025, Pakistan's Ministry of Maritime Affairs revealed a plan to boost Gwadar Port’s capacity by adding new maritime routes and initiating a passenger ferry service linking Pakistan with GCC nations.
  • This initiative follows Pakistan's recognition that Gwadar Port has underperformed despite heavy investment, handling less than 2 percent of national cargo and lacking a clear operational plan.
  • The plan seeks to enhance regional linkages, alleviate the burden on current ports, and encourage transit commerce involving Central and West Asia, while also drawing increased engagement from the private sector.
  • Federal Minister Muhammad Junaid Anwar Chaudhry described the ferry service as a 'new lifeline' for Balochistan that will strengthen ties, boost tourism, and enhance cargo handling efficiency.
  • The expansion is expected to increase Gwadar's commercial activity, integrate it into international networks, and support Pakistan’s strategic role in regional maritime trade.
