Karachi Port Trust (KPT) is widely regarded as the nation's lifeline. It

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.
