With rising global shipping draft requirements and increased cargo volumes, Port Qasim requires deeper navigation channels and more efficient routing toward port terminals. TCI is leading a multi-year feasibility effort including 550 km² of bathymetric surveys, geotechnical investigations, ship maneuverability modelling, and hydrodynamic/sediment studies to evaluate multiple expansion alternatives. The program focuses on cost-optimized dredging, improved navigational safety, and resilience to wave/tidal variations, ensuring readiness for next-generation cargo vessels and future terminal developments.
