533 km
180km
IRAN

16. •Located at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, just outside the Strait of
Hormuz, near the key shipping routes in and out of the Persian Gulf
•The surrounding region is home to around two-thirds of the
world's oil reserves
• Also the nearest warm-water seaport to the landlocked, but energy
rich, Central Asian Republics and landlocked Afghanistan

17. HISTORY OF GWADAR
• Pakistan identified Gwadar as a port site as far back
as 1954 when Gwadar was still under Omani rule
• After four years of negotiations, Pakistan purchased
the Gwadar enclave from Oman for $3 million on 8
September 1958 and Gwadar officially became part
of Pakistan on 8 December 1958, after 200 years of
Omani rule
• At the time, Gwadar was a small and
underdeveloped fishing village with a population of a
few thousand

18. CONSTRUCTION OF GWADAR
• Gwadar was constructed in 2 phases (1998-1999)
and (2002-2007)
• Then taken up by the PSA International (2007-2012)
According to the agreement with PSA International,
Government of Pakistan would get a fixed share of:
• 9% of the revenue from cargo and maritime services
• 15% of the revenue earned from the free-trade zone

19.  Doing little business as a commercial port Pakistan
handed over the project of upgrading the port to
Chinese company
 China was awarded this multi- billion dollars
contract in February 2013
 Port will remain the property of Pakistan but
would be operated by the state-run Chinese firm
— China Overseas Port Holding Company
(COPHC)

20. PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN AT GWADAR PORT

21. DETAILS OF GWADAR PORT PROJECT
 The long channel of Gwadar Port has been dredged to
14 meter depth
 18.9 kms Eastbay Expressway has been built to help
flow of goods from and to Gwadar Port and later on it
will also include a 4.3 kms bridge alongside the sea
 The port berths length is over 700 meters and on
requirement the berth length can be increased by two
to three times

22. OPERATION
 The Port has officially started its operation on the 11th
of May, 2015
 The first trade of it being a large export of fish(230
tons) to Dubai’s Jabal Ali Port where it has been
exported to different countries

24. GWADAR PORT

25. BENEFITS OF EXPANSION OF GWADAR PORT
 As an important route for oil tankers bound for Japan
and other countries out of the Gulf, the outflow of
goods from Western China and Central Asia reaching
Gwadar will pass through this overland trade route,
Pakistan can earn millions of dollars a year in terms of
cargo handling charges and also as freight charges for
import cargoes and export goods
 Increased capacity of Gwadar Port Increased shipyard Increased
export/import Tax Generation Revenue More development
Economic stability

26. BENEFITS OF EXPANSION OF GWADAR PORT
 China imports a large quantity of its oil from the Gulf
States through an extremely long route
 Gwadar turning into a central hub for trade can greatly
decrease their long journey all the way through the
Strait of Malacca, Malaysia to Middle East by changing
their route to Pakistan and then the Middle East

28. 2. KARACHI-LAHORE MOTORWAY
 Also known as "KLM“
 A high-speed, access-controlled, 6-lane motorway

33.  The M8 will start from Ratodero in Sindh Province and
enter Balochistan Province passing near the towns of
Khuzdar, Awaran, Hoshab, Turbat before joining
the Makran Coastal Highway just east of the port city
of Gwadar
 The M8 will cross the Dasht River and pass near
the Mirani Dam in Balochistan Province

35. 2. KHUNJERAB RAILWAY
 The Khunjerab railway or Karakoram railway is a
proposed rail link via Khunjerab Pass from Hunza
Nagar District in Gilgit-Baltistan to Kashgar

36. HISTORY OF KHUNJERAB RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION
 In 2007, consultants were engaged to investigate the
construction of a railway through this pass to
connect China with transport in Pakistani-
administered northern areas of Kashmir
 A feasibility study started in November 2009 for a line
connecting Havelian 750 km (466 mi) away in
Pakistan and Kashgar 350 km (217 mi) in China

37. KHUNJERAB RAILWAY
 Pakistan awarded a Rs72 million (US$1.2 million) contract
to an international consortium to carry out a feasibility
study for establishing a rail link with China to boost trade
relations between the two countries
 The study will cover a 750-kilometre section
between Havelian and the 4,730-metre-high Khunjerab
Pass over Mansehra district and the Karakoram Highway
 Havellian is already linked with the rest of the rail network
in Pakistan; the Chinese will lay some 350 km of track
within their own territory from Kashgar terminus up to the
Khunjerab Pass, linking Pakistan with China's rail network,
largely following the route of Karakoram Highway

39. KASHGAR RAILWAY STATION

40.  Beijing's involvement in several rail projects in Pakistan is motivated primarily
by commercial considerations, but it also sees distinct advantages for its
improved transportation and access to Central Asia and the Persian Gulf states.
A reliable network of road and rail links can only ensure China's access to
energy-rich central Asia, serving it both commercially and strategically
