Port Qasim Logistics in Pakistan
Port Qasim logistics for industrial importers, automotive suppliers, bulk-adjacent container cargo, and inland delivery routes.
What is port qasim logistics?
Port Qasim, located approximately 35–45 km east of central Karachi along the Korangi Creek, is Pakistan's second major deep-water port and the preferred gateway for automotive imports, fertilisers, bulk liquids, steel, and industrial raw materials. Its main container terminal, QICT (Qasim International Container Terminal), handles FCL containers alongside bulk and liquid berths at FOTCO and other facilities. The port's industrial corridor — connecting directly to the SITE and Korangi industrial zones — makes it well-suited for heavy industrial cargo that would otherwise transit through central Karachi traffic to reach these zones from the city port. PK Transporters is established at QICT and FOTCO gate procedures with trailers based to serve the Port Qasim catchment.
