Hutchison Ports Pakistan has announced a $76 million investment programme for 2026-27 to modernise and expand operations at the country’s only deep-water container terminal.
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 received 20 e-trucks, 10 trailers, a reach stacker and an empty handler during 2026.
The latest investment is expected to increase terminal capacity, improve operational efficiency and reduce emissions through greater electrification of port equipment.
Hutchison Ports Pakistan said its cumulative investment is projected to exceed $690 million by the end of 2026.
The company is also working with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Karachi Port Trust and the government to strengthen Pakistan’s position as a regional transshipment hub.
As part of the expansion, the terminal has submitted a proposal for additional land to establish a centralised examination area, aimed at improving cargo handling and facilitating trade flows.
