KPT re-thinks causeway plan
Karachi Port Trust is rethinking its plan to link the proposed Pakistan Deepwater Container Port by a six kilometre long causeway following an initial cost assessment.
The new container terminal, which will have 3.75 km of quay wall, will offer a draught of 18 metres. However, the $700m price tag for the causeway would account for two thirds of the proposed budget for the entire project, which has therefore been shelved for the time being.
