This is a list of ports in Pakistan. There are three international seaports, seventeen dry ports, twelve fishing harbours, and five military ports.




Seaports



All seaports in Pakistan are maintained and governed by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs of the Government of Pakistan. The three largest ports each have their own port authority.

Note that "Karachi Harbour" is sometimes used as an alternative name for the Port of Karachi. However, the harbour is a larger body of water that also includes a fishing harbour, a shipyard, three naval bases, and several ferry terminals, as well as extensive wetlands and mangrove forests.




Dry ports


Apart from the seaports, there are a number of dry ports, located elsewhere in the country, which allow goods to undergo customs checks away from the dock side. Six major dry ports are run by Pakistan Railways:

Lahore Dry Port (opened 1973) (31.556°N 74.372°E / 31.556; 74.372 (Lahore Dry Port))

Proposed ports


The Port of Gadani in Hub District, currently comprises the Gadani Fish Harbour and the Gadani Ship Breaking Yard. In August 2019 the federal government announced there would be a feasibility study to look at building a modern port at Gadani.
The Port of Keti Bandar in Thatta District, in the western part of the Indus River Delta, was a thriving port until the early part of the 20th century but now consists of a fishing jetty and a coast guard jetty for the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency. There was a proposal by the federal government to build a new port in 2007, which came to naught. More recently a new proposal has been put forward in April 2024 by the Sindh provincial government.
The Port of Sonmiani, in Las Bela District, currently consists of a fish harbour at the town of Damb, about 4 km (2.5 mi) northwest of Sonmiani as well as a coast guard jetty for the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency, a kilometre to the north of the fish harbour. In March 2007 the federal government announced a proposal to build a major new port at Sonmiani (tentatively titled Aladdin Port). The provincial government carried out a survey of the area as preparation for a new port, together with allocating thousands of acres of land for future construction. However, the plans never materialised.
