Federal Maritime Affairs Minister Muhammad Junaid Anwar Chaudhry spoke with Balochistan's Chief Minister about launching ferry routes between Gwadar and Gulf nations. The provincial leader pledged complete support for the maritime project. Officials reviewed proposals from five private ferry companies during a high-level meeting. Each operator presented technical and financial plans for the new sea routes. The service would connect Gwadar Port with major Gulf destinations.
The initiative seeks to establish Gwadar as a regional maritime center. Ferry routes would provide cheaper transportation options for passengers and cargo. Regional trade integration could improve through reduced shipping costs. The minister stressed how the project would boost Pakistan's maritime reputation. Gwadar would become a central hub for international sea trade networks.
Authorities received instructions to evaluate all submitted proposals further. Officials must address regulatory and technical requirements before the service begins. The ferry system promises economic benefits for Balochistan and Pakistan. Enhanced connectivity would serve both residents and businesses across the region.
