Further, Blue Economy / Maritime, which encompasses all economic activities related to Ocean, Sea, Coast and Marine Resources need to be fully tapped.

This significant milestone follows the submission and acceptance of a research proposal “Dire Need of Mini Sea Ports,” initiated by the ateeq ur rehman (economic and financial analyst). This honor reflects the importance of the study and the growing national focus on strengthening Pakistan’s maritime infrastructure.
The paper highlighted Pakistan’s urgent requirement to expand its maritime infrastructure through the development of Mini and Deep Sea Ports an essential step for enhancing national trade capacity, reducing port congestion, strengthening the blue economy, and positioning Pakistan as a competitive maritime hub in the region.
The commencement of work on different Maritime Projects specially the new Deep Sea Ports marks a major step forward for the country’s trade, blue economy, and regional connectivity. Pakistan’s coastline of 1001 km, is home to many different species of maritime animals, plants and mineral resources.
It reflects growing attention from maritime authorities, academia, and policymakers toward sustainable port development and improved global connectivity.
