The meeting assessed the technical, operational, and financial aspects of the proposals, which aim to introduce direct maritime passenger and cargo services between Pakistan and Gulf states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative follows the ministry\u2019s July 1 announcement to expand Gwadar Port\u2019s operational capacity through new shipping lines and regional ferry links<\/a>.

\u201cThe ferry service will not only improve connectivity between Pakistan and the Gulf, but also help position Gwadar as a key maritime hub in the region,\u201d the minister said, stressing its strategic and economic value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
