Introduction

Pakistan’s geographical location and its robust industrial base make it a rising hub for global shipping.

Strategically positioned at the crossroads of South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East, the country has direct access to major shipping routes via the Arabian Sea.

With increasing export figures, trade agreements, and logistics modernization, Pakistan is set to become a global trade enabler.

The Trade Landscape

Pakistan’s exports reached $32.1 billion in FY2025, with key industries like textiles, rice, leather, and surgical instruments driving growth.

Imports, though higher, underline the need for efficient logistics partners who can balance trade deficits by facilitating smoother and cheaper shipping options.

Strategic Advantages

• Ports: Karachi Port, Port Qasim, and Gwadar Port offer maritime connectivity to Asia, Africa, and Europe.
• Air Freight: With modern cargo terminals in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, urgent shipments reach global destinations within hours.
• Road & Rail: Growing China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) infrastructure enhances multi-modal options.

Pain Points in Current Shipping
