Hutchison Ports Pakistan is set to invest $76 million over the next two years in a major upgrade of its deep-water container terminal, with the programme combining new cargo-handling equipment, fleet electrification and additional infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operator has also approached the Government of Pakistan for additional land to establish a Centralised Examination Area, which it said would form part of the broader expansion programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed facility is aligned with the objectives of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs (MOMA), Karachi Port Trust (KPT) and the government to develop a high-capacity logistics hub aimed at improving trade efficiency and supporting regional commercial activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the investment programme, Hutchison Ports Pakistan will add two electric remote-controlled Quay Cranes (QCs), 17 electric remote-controlled Rubber Tyre Gantry Cranes (RTGCs), 70 e-trucks and 50 trailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terminal has already begun receiving the new equipment. During 2026, it took delivery of 20 e-trucks and 10 trailers, in addition to a reach stacker and an empty handler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company said the transition towards electric equipment is intended to support both operational growth and Hutchison Ports Group\u2019s global sustainability objectives, with fleet electrification contributing to supply-chain decarbonisation in Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CS Kim, CEO of Hutchison Ports Pakistan, said the investment reflected the company\u2019s commitment to Pakistan\u2019s economic growth and maritime sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Kim, the company is working with MOMA, KPT and the government to support the prime minister\u2019s vision of developing Pakistan into a premier transhipment hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the use of advanced technology would enable faster turnaround times, improve cargo clearance and help create long-term economic value for the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
