The upgrade will include two electric remote-controlled quay cranes, 17 electric rubber-tyred gantry cranes, 70 electric trucks, and 50 trailers. The terminal has already taken delivery of 20 e-trucks, 10 trailers, a reach stacker, and an empty container handler this year.
The company said the shift toward electric equipment will not only support operational growth but also contribute to lower carbon emissions and Hutchison Ports Group’s global sustainability goals.
Hutchison Ports Pakistan CEO CS Kim said the company remains committed to supporting Pakistan’s economic and maritime development, working with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Karachi Port Trust, and the government to help establish Pakistan as a major regional transshipment hub.
The company has also submitted a proposal seeking additional land to establish a Centralised Examination Area, which it said would improve cargo handling, streamline trade processes, and strengthen Karachi’s position as a high-capacity regional logistics hub.
