Brief History
Karachi due to its geographical and strategic location is known as the gateway to Asia. Considered as a safe Harbor since time immemorial, Karachi was a small fishing village in early Nineteenth Century. Historians identify it with its proximity to a place from where a part of Alexander's Army, boarded the Greek Flotilla in 326 B.C. The first mention of Karachi as a port is found in an Arabic treatise 'Muhit' on navigation relating to the West Coast of India and the Persian Gulf. Written in 1558, this treatise warns the sailors of whirlpools and advises them to seek safety in Karachi Harbor if they found themselves drifting dangerously. It is also significant to mention that the first Muslim Conqueror of India, Mohammad Bin Qasim, landed at Daibal, in vicinity of Karachi in 711 A.D. Karachi also has the distinction of being the birth place of the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and was the first capital of Pakistan till 1963. It is now the largest city with a bustling and ever increasing population of over ten million. By 1852, Karachi was an established city with a population of about 14,000 with a prosperous trade in overseas markets. However, the existing Port started taking shape in 1854, when the projects of dredging the main navigable channel and the construction of a mole or causeway joining the main harbor with the rest of the city were undertaken. About 5 years later, construction of Manora Breakwater, Keamari Groyne, the

Napier Mole Bridge, Native Jetty and the Chinna Creek were started which gave initial shape to the port. The construction of the wharves started in 1882, and by 1914 the East Wharves and the Napier Mole Boat Wharf had been completed. During the period between 1927 and 1944, the West Wharves of the Port, the lighterage berths and the ship-repairing berths were constructed. Most of these facilities were obsolete by the time Pakistan came into existence in 1947. Since then, the port administration has embarked on extensive development of the port on modern lines. At the time of independence in 1947, the Port capacity was about 1.5 million tons of dry cargo and 1.0 million tons of P.O.L. products per annum. Karachi Port is now handling over 11.74 million tons of liquid cargo and 25.45 million tons of dry cargo, including 1,213,744 TEUs which constitute about 60% of import/ export of the country.

Organization Chart The Karachi Port is administered by a Board of Trustees comprising of Chairman and 10 Trustees. The Chairman is appointed by the Federal Government. Out of the 10 Trustees, 5 are nominated by the Federal Government and 5 are nominated by various private sector organization representing the trade and commerce. The Chairman is also the Chief Executive of Karachi Port Trust.

PORT TARIFF

KARACHI PORT TRUST

STATUTORY NOTIFICATIONS CONTAINING RULES AND ORDERS

(SRO 1/2003)

PREFACE Karachi Port Trust (KPT) is widely regarded as the nation's lifeline. It handles 70% of Pakistan's import and export trade. As such, its performance impacts manifold aspects of nation's activities. As a corollary, KPT's charges have a tremendous impact on the country's economy. The last review of our tariff was notified in 1994. Hence, its review was long over due to keep pace with the changing markets and trends in business. The present management, mindful of the port users' concerns on this issue as well, decided to review, rationalize and restructure the KPT tariff with a view to making it less cumbersome, more logical and perhaps most importantly, more economical. A committee was set up to make its recommendations. The committee also consulted all concerned stakeholders to ensure the success of this exercise. This included Karachi Chamber of Commerce, Karachi Customs Agents Group, Karachi Stevedores Conference (Guarantee) Ltd., Pakistan Ships Agents Association, All Pakistan Shipping Association, and Pakistan Shippers Council. I would like to express my appreciation for the following members of the committee who worked extremely hard on this assignment
Capt Noman Alvi Mr. Cyril David Mr. Ali Mardan Abbasi Mr. Zaheeruddin Qureshi Mr. Muhammad Kazim Dock Master Dy. Chief Accounts Officer Dy. Traffic Manager (East) Audit Officer Traffic Inspector

I am particularly grateful to Mr. Muhammad A. Rajpar of Pakistan Ships Agents Association for his valued input in providing the port users' perspective in this exercise. I sincerely hope those who benefit from the incentives and concessions offered in this tariff will pass on the benefit to their customers so that the economy as a whole benefits.

KARACHI PORT TRUST PROJECTS IN BRIEF

[CLICK HERE]

Updated 8 Nov10 (For best Display use Internet Explorer For this Page) Environmental Impact Assessment of reconstruction of berth 15-17A Report May 2010

As the new generation of container ships comes on the drawing boards, Karachi Port takes the initiative of bracing itself to handle and cater for fifth and sixth generation ships. This involves the development of a deep

water container port at Keamari Groyne, which is the natural choice for such a port. Project consultants are M/s Royal Haskoning and M/s Scot Wilson of UK. Ten berths at 18m depth, with 5 km of quay wall have been planned. The project shall be carried out in phases and on public-private partnership (PPP). Total cost of the project is US$ 1.6 billion. In Phase I, four berths with 1500 m quay wall is planned to be constructed. Project is scheduled for completion in 2013.

PDWCP Phase-1 - The Concession Agreement The Phase 1 of PDWCP comprises 4 berths and will have 1500m quay length. A design vessel, (similar to Emma Maersk), of 400 m LOA, 55.0m Beam and l5m Draft with 11,000 TEUs on board, has been used for planning the PDWCP. The channel and berthing face will be dredged to 16m initially, but the Quay wall is designed for 18m depth. The container terminal will have both road and rail connections to the hinterland including the proposed Cargo Village in the Western Backwaters of Karachi Port. The viability of PDWCP with respect to the geographical location of the port was proved when in response to the KPTs request for proposals for setting up of the PDWCP, four world renowned firms responded. After an exhaustive exercise of evaluation of the most competitive bid, M/s Hutchison Port Holdings Limited (HPH) of Hong Kong has been awarded the Concession. HPH is the worlds largest container operator. In 2006, HPH handled 59.1 million TEUs worldwide and of which, 13.1 million were transshipment. HPH operates 257 berths in 45 ports in 23 countries alongwith a number of transportation related service companies. The lease of the terminal will be for an initial period of 25 years extendable for another 25 years, on mutually agreed terms and conditions. M/s. Hutchison Port Holdings Limited (HPH) Hong Kong will be required to develop the site into a full-fledged state of the art Container Terminal capable of receiving and handling Super Post Panamax Container Ships. Terminal Capacity will be 3.1 Million TEUs

Expected initial investment by M/s. HPH is US $457 Million. All equipment will be new and current models from internationally accredited manufacturers. THE SCOPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT BEING CARRIED OUT AT PDWCP BY KPT: Dredging and Reclamation: The dredging and reclamation contract has been signed with China International Water and Electric Company (CWE). Total 33 million cum dredging including 8 million cum reclamation is planned at a cost of Rs 19 Billion. Completion is scheduled in 2011. The existing Port Approach Channel is to be widened and deepened so as to link it to the new PDWCP harbour. This shall initially increase the depth of existing channel from -12.2 meters to -16.0 meters.

From approximately 33.0 million cubic meters of dredging to be carried out, about 8.0 million cubic meters of the material shall be used for reclamation works and for creating stockpiles of material for future use in the terminal construction. The Dredging and Reclamation works shall also complement other modules of the Pakistan Deep Water Container Port namely, the Marine Protection Works and the Quay Wall construction works.

Marine Protection Works: The second component is Marine Protection Works (MPW) in which three breakwaters and a sand dyke are planned to be built. The contract has been awarded to M/s China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) at a cost of Rs 12.8 Billion. Completion is scheduled in 2012.

The Marine protection works for the project shall include construction of 3 breakwaters and a sand dyke. The marine protection works have been envisaged to comprise of three rock or concrete (CORE-LOC units) armoured breakwaters to provide shelter to the port basin and for preventing sediment transport into the basin. The scope consists of:

Keamari Extension - Repairs as deemed necessary to strengthen existing Groyne. To be constructed to accommodate a future -18.0mPD dredged depth at PDWCP harbour entrance.) Repairs to existing Keamari Groyne are also planned.

Oyster Rocks Breakwater - Construction of breakwater (-18.0mPD dredged depth at PDWCP harbour entrance) and Construction of concrete pedestrian access along shore side. To be constructed to accommodate a future -18.0mPD dredged depth at PDWCP harbour entrance. Construction of concrete pedestrian access along shoreside)

Manora Breakwater To be constructed to accommodate a -18.0mPD dredged depth at Port entrance)

Keeping in view the significance of the project, the design parameters have been set keeping in view that the wave conditions at the entrance to the Port of Karachi are dominated by southwesterly (180 to 270) offshore and waves propagating from the Indian Ocean. The design life and standard for the breakwaters are 50 years and the Design standard adopted for a life of 100 years. As per good engineering practice of model test the final design of large breakwater structures have been tested through physical modelling. Quay Wall Construction: The contract for quay wall been awarded to M/s China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) at a cost of 18 Billion. Completion is scheduled in 2012. A tied bored pile quay wall has been designed, in which the quay wall is to be built using 2.5m diameter circular reinforced concrete piles, restrained by steel anchor ties attached to a piled anchor beam located 50 metres (centre to centre) behind the quay wall. The anchor beam is supported by 1.6m diameter reinforced concrete piles at 2.6 metre centres. The design is selected to use proven technology and good earthquake resistance. The following facilities are provided in relation with the present design: A straight quay length of 1,500m, providing a nominal four berths of 375m length with a depth alongside of -16.5m initially and -18.0m finally, and able to accommodate vessels in the capacity range 750 TEU to 14,500 TEU; Crane rail slots for the installation of crane rails to allow operation of STS cranes. Appropriate marine furniture including fenders and bollards for the expected vessels and ladders.

Karachi International Container Terminal ( KICT)

KICT, is already operational at the West Wharf. It was developed in phases. Initially two phases were operational with terminal area of 135,122 sqm and an annual capacity of 400,000 TEUs. Previously with only two phases functional, terminal area of 135,122 sq.m. Cost of Phase I & II is USD 65 million. Phase-III has also been completed. This was inaugurated by Honarable Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani in November, 2008. In this phase, the terminal has an area of 260,000 sq.m with an additional investment of US$ 55 million. The total Terminal capacity shall be increased to 700,000 TEUs. The 973 m long berths of the terminal are deepened to cater for 14 meter draught container ship. The Terminal is equipped with 6 gantry cranes, 15 RTGs, 4 Top lift, 4 empty handler, 50 chasis etc. Presently they are handling 806,000 TEUs per year Pakistan International Container Terminal (PICT) The second Container Terminal on BOT was awarded by KPT in June 2002. This Terminal at Berths 69 East Wharf has 600 m quay wall with - 13.5 m depth over an area of 207,000 sqm. The terminals planned capacity is 450,000 TEUs. This was a US $ 75 million project. PICT was also developed in Phases. In Phase-I Two modern gantry cranes and associated equipment were deployed. Phase-II was completed in May 2006 with additional deployment of one more ship to shore gantry crane and Phase-lll has been completed in January 2009. Presently they are handling 603,000 TEUs per year

Reconstruction of Berths KPT has 30 dry cargo berths and 560 meter quay wall at Napier Boat Whraf for country craft. Out of which 17 # berths situated at East Wharves & 11 # berths @ west Wharves. Two container terminals (PICT & KICT) occupied 9 # berths (6 to 9 berths for PICT) & (30 to 26 berth for KICT). The rest of berths are operational under KPT management. Due to collapse of berth # 10 & 14 in August 2007, KPT declared these 9 # berth (ie.10 to 17A) non operational since August 2007. Due to shortage of berths, KPT had initiated step in year 2005 to appoint M/s Scott Wilson +ZCL for planning & detailed designing of old & outlived berths # 10-17A including SRBs, before this berth collapse incident occurred in year 2007. Thereafter KPT decided to commence the berth reconstruction in phases. In 1st phase, KPT awarded the work to Contractor M/s Ssangyong +Usmani (JV) and they commenced the work from 20th March 2007 and was to be completed in March 2010, but said work could not completed within time i.e. 24 months due to various technical reasons.

The supervision of project work is being done by the supervision consultants M/s Lyon Associate (USA) + Techno (JV) of execution. The cost of the project is Rs. 5.5 Billon and funded by KPT own resources. Physical completion progress of work is about 60 %. The total quay wall length is 777.823 meter between berth 10 to 14, included 2 meter dia cast in-situ concrete piles connected /associated with tie rods & other allied fixture for supporting of the berths structures. Project completion of phases is October, 2010 and July 2011. RECONSTRUCTION OF BERTH 15- 17 A INCLUDING SRBS `1 & 2 AT EAST WHARVES. The project Reconstruction of 15 -17A will be executed in 2nd phase of reconstruction sequence of reconstruction of berths t at east wharves. The design & planning of the project has already been completed. KPT is intending to finance this project through World Bank soft loan. The negotiation with World Bank is almost finalized, and it will be materialized very soon. The Concept of project has been approved by CDWP of Planning & Commission. The cost of the project is Rs 9.224 Billion including some important assignments (KPTs Institutional Strengthening of project & EIA report & its improvement) to be carried out under the loan facility. On the basis of World Bank guidelines, KPT initiated Prequalification stage and invited contracting local /international firms to participating in PQ stage. In response 9 firms participated with local JVs partners in this stage of prequalification. KPTs design consultant prepared a prequalification Report and the same has been forwarded to World Bank for its approval. Recently KPT received some queries from word bank on PQ report, hence y KPT shall reply on these queries accordingly; however World Bank is principally agreed to the PQ report for the selection of the contracting firms. The tender documents have been reviewed by World Bank and send back to KPT for its minor changes. The tender document shall be floated to the prequalified contractor very soon.

(Karachi, Pakistan)
The Port fountain is the worlds latest fountain and rises to height of 620 feet when operating at full force. The fountain is located next to the Northern rock of a series known as Oyster Rocks, off the Karachi harbour. Ever since its inauguration by the President of Pakistan on 15th Jan 2006, the fountain has been attracting visitors from all over Pakistan.The fountain structure and platform of 135 sq meters (15m x 9m) is on 16 piles 18 meters deep. Two 835-horsepower turbine pumps deliver nearly 2000 liters of sea water per second at a velocity of 70 meter per second through specially designed 8 inch nozzles. Because the fountain rises so high into the air, it is quite easily seen from many locations of the city. Many high rise apartments, buildings and surroundings overlook the fountain throughout the community at the beach. The column of water can be seen from miles at sea. The fountain is located 1.4 km away from the beach to avoid spraying neighborhood homes. Maximum vapours travel up to a radius of 500 feet around the fountain. Eighteen flood lights of 400 watts illuminate the fountain at night. On evening of 15th January 2006, people crowded the Clifton beach to witness the inauguration of the fountain with a grand display of fireworks and to see its stream of water magically turn blue at night! Current hours of Operation 6 p.m. - 12 p.m. daily except Mondays and Tuesdays. Boat rides available from Boat Basin, Keamari.

KPT gets IAPH IT Award 2005

About IAPH International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) was founded in 1955 to elaborate improvements at different Ports and harbors. A journal was introduced in 1956 initially consisting of mainly information, source material and announcements concerning major ports. With time, IAPH undertook important role of addressing, monitoring and analyzing the current topics of interest and concern to the global port industry. Till today IAPH has identified current issues, shared experiences, best practices and offered solutions to new challenges faced by the port industry. IAPH functions through committees of professionals of different interests of different activities. Over the years as volume of cargo increased dramatically due to containerization, the need arose to provide efficient and user friendly port services, handling of services/documents and communication through electronic data processing heading to the creation of the Trade Facilitation Committee. Commemorating its 50th Anniversary, IAPH launched IT Award 2005 through the trade facilitation committee as a reward to demonstrate their commitment to promoting the use of IT in ports and maritime transportation and the award is to be presented to outstanding projects in this arena with regards to projects/applications implemented in last two years that resulted in greatest benefits to the port such as reduced costs, increased revenue, improved safety, enhanced efficiency and environmental protection. The entry was to be governed with guidelines of project Summary, Results achieved, technology used, obstacles overcome and technology base. KPTs Award Entry Project Summary Complicated documentary procedures cause a significant loss of trade due to complex import and export documentation, lengthy procedures, communication difficulties between port users, KPT Act and its limitations. In order to assure the availability of secure and highly efficient and productive facilities at economical cost at par with other international ports, the KPT decided to embark on full scale automation of all its activities. The ability to use information quickly for developing new concepts of services and

applications that are more responsive and provide flexibility in dynamic and time critical situations is now a business necessity. The technical solution was to fully automate KPT in the shortest and most effective manner without hindering day to day activities. This involved structured walkthroughs, data gathering, interviews, and understanding of business procedure, defining suitable hardware with minimum cost without compromising on security and operations readiness, fall back options availability, disaster/recovery strategy, training and data integrity with external organizations. The Karachi Port Trusts computerization project was launched considering information technology as of today is one of the key factors in propelling growth in all sectors. The project consisting of hardware infrastructure as well as application software was launched aggressively through private concerns. The network comprised of over 500 nodes on fiber optic and wireless WAN. The overall computerization project comprised of various modules pertaining to all facets of port activities to mention a few which include port operations, cargo and container handling, warehousing, estate management, Payroll, Hospital Management Systems, Human Resource (including Pension, Annual Confidential reports, Leave Management), Automated Inventory Management etc. In order to expedite computerization, a concurrent phase methodology was adopted. In one phase the revenue oriented port operations and related activities were undertaken through private concerns, in another phase predefined IT software were procured and tailored as per needs and in third phase in-house development of application software was also undertaken. The automation of vessel operations, cargo and container handling, warehousing and estate management commenced on 31st Oct 1999 and was completed within 18 months. The complete project has taken about three years to complete. Since then user awareness has increased tremendously and continuous changes are being made to improve the application software. To large extent, future enterprises will be more dependent on IT to accomplish their goals successfully and competitively, KPT adopted trends having major impact of IT such as eCommerce, electronic data interchange, paperless computing, graphical data simulation, inter organizational connectivity, wireless radio connectivity, e-Card services, e-Banking. Results Achieved The results of automation in KPT have been phenomenal. It has greatly helped in identifying areas of change, strategy for change, impact of proposed changes, defined better solutions and even provided areas requiring institutional strengthening. Reduction of man power has been substantial. As a direct consequence of automation, over manned locations were identified and Golden Hand Shake scheme was launched. From strength of over 12,000 employees, the strength has reduced to about 5,500. This has resulted in reduction in human resource cost such as overtime, medical expenses, payroll of about Rupees 700 million annually. There has been a reduction in paper work. Due to better analytical and statistical information, timely and effective decisions have enabled revenues to increase by about 1 billion Rupees annually. Time saving and operational readiness have improved tremendously. With the advent of computerization in KPT, new ways of facilitations of trade emerged. Electronic data interchange did away with the requirement of volumes of paper. E-PAS, e-ETA and e-Wharfage portals which are part of electronic Port Access System were provided to shipping agents for submitting IGM, ETA and generation of wharfage bills online. KPT launched its website (http://www.kpt.gov.pk) in 2001 and information pertaining to ship movements, cargo details, notices and other information pertaining to KPT is also available. It is probably the only web site that provides a visual interface of theKarachi port depicting present positions of ships. Additionally, Port users can also make payments through KPT prepaid cards for payments of wharfage bills. The site is protected through use of 128 bit SSL encryption software. A recent addition has been the provision of requisitioning floating cranes. Hi-tech CCTV cameras are also being integrated on the same network as part of the ISPS code. RFID cards and Biometric hand punch readers are being installed which will be used also for monitoring of attendance and overtime. To manage all this, a well equipped computer, center with skilled staffs is manned round the clock. KPT hospital medicinal expenditure per person has also reduced due to transparency through computerization. Relevant system checks and statistical reports have reduced medicine over stocking. Leave management, ACR (annual confidential reports), financial approving procedures have been automated with a huge reduction in paper cost, paper work and manpower. The Automated inventory management system has helped in proper stock ordering and stocking of items as per maintenance schedules, monitoring of fast for maximum availability, slow and obsolete items.

KPT holds an expensive prime estate effective management of which is necessary. KPT computerized its estate data and further digitized its estate. A geographical information system (GIS) is being developed. All information pertaining to each location will be readily available. Prepaid cards have been introduced to allow port users to make payments after banking hours. The facility of payments is also provided through KPTs telephone exchange. The caller after making the right selections through the interactive voice response system can make his wharfage bill payments. Inter-organizational data integration has been done with Pakistan Customs systems and with the terminal operators. Technology Used Selection of technology with respect to software and hardware is a key component. It affects the organizations ability to expand without glitches. KPT engaged through open tender M/s Siemens Pakistan Engineering Co ltd, to lay the network infrastructure and provide the then latest hardware. KPT opted for hardware related to DELL make high end servers models 8450 and 6400. Epson dot matrix printers, Xerox laser printers and Tally line printers for volume printing, Intel data switches, Cisco routers, Cisco wireless bridges, Merlin Gerin UPS, AMP structured cabling system were procured. The network has fiber optic as in primary back bone while radio links automatically provide the secondary backup. For the application software, ORACLE 9i was used at backend and Developer 2000 was used at front end. In addition Java platform was used to develop a web based visual interface depicting current vessel status on the wharves. Considering the hacking and related security issues, Internet and operational networks have been kept apart. Internet has been provided through BRI to selected users only but through a separate LAN setup with a specific perimeter. For other users a cyber caf was established. A PRI is being secured to further augment line and speed availability in addition to setting up an ISP. A PIX firewall (525E) with fail over option is also being procured separately. The server rooms are properly secured by digital locks requiring RFID cards and pin codes. Obstacles Overcome The biggest obstacle or challenge was although that a batch mode computer setup existed but computerization at this stage required a complete new beginning from scratch. Since this was new beginning, the working ethics, mindset and some procedures had to be changed and establishment of a proper computer center with all necessary hardware was required. Two Training labs were established and skilled personnel had to be hired for the in-house development and tailoring of other application software in addition to day-to-day activities. Policies, procedures, practices and organizational structure had to be put in place to provide reasonable assurance that the organizations business objective will be achieved and undesired risk event will be prevented. Access to information prior computerization was possible at any level, is now controlled by different access levels and authorization codes at the same time assuring the users of reliability, accuracy, database integrity and retrieval of information which would otherwise involve huge man hours. Managements top down approach and extensive training were key components in avoiding or reducing expected problems. Over 500 personnel including officers were initially trained and new incumbents are now provided hands-on training. Another challenge was to ensure continuous user confidence in the system during implementation as they had been habitual of manual processing. Technology Base Prior implementation of the existing computerization project, KPT had a small computer setup housing 06 PCs, a line printer and a very old ICL ME29 computer with hard disk capacity of 180MB, RAM of 512Kb and two tape units. Total of 20 PCs in KPT were available and were mostly 386 or 486 types. The computer center housed one manager, 3 systems analysts, 6 programmers, 2 computer operators, 6 data entry operators, 6 data coders and one data supervisor. Not one of these was an IT graduate. The concept of internet was not known to the department. The skill set of the staff was deficient and out dated. The officers were not fully aware of IT tools available and advancements in IT. Most could not accept new challenges due to age. The systems were initially designed in COBOL and later converted gradually on Oracle platform on ORACLE 7. All activities were done in batch mode. Applications were purely scripting based and concept of RDBMS was not conceptualized. Data had to be captured on forms specially printed

and sent to computer department for data entry. Printout of data entered was obtained and another team of data coders would audit the entries made against actual data forms earlier received. When found free of errors the processing program was executed and relevant files were updated and large volumes of printouts were obtained. In spite of having the data on tape and hard disk, hard copies of the printouts were kept by the computer department. This required the need to have large storing places. The systems designed pertained to payroll, personnel, provident fund, Advances, Berth operations, cash book, property billing etc. The MIS concept did not exist and each system was programmed to function independently. This often led to reports not synchronizing to each other. Backup policies, redundancy and disaster recovery plans had to be institutionalized which earlier existed in crude form.
