Comparative costs of alternative de

Comparative costs of alternative development discount simultaneous development of both Karachi and Port Qasim. Development of either port one at a time could possibly provide navigation, berth, and land access capacity at relatively high cost. Developing Karachi Port elevated expressway would not resolve the channel depth issue at Port Qasim.The assessment shows that the Karachi Port efficiency and capacity can be increased if elevated expressway project would serve South Asia Pakistan Terminals (SAPT), oil installations, East and West Wharves relieving traffic at Keamari and Dock yard Road; renovate rail lines at SAPT, and dispatch regular trains every day; and develop Pipri rail corridor.
