Karachi Port Trust

Karachi Port Trust

Karachi Port Trust (KPT) is a Pakistan federal government agency that oversees the operations of Karachi Port at Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

History

Between 1880 and 1887 the port was administered by the Karachi Harbour Board. The Karachi Port Trust was then established by the Act IV of 1886, effective from 1 April 1887. [Behram Sohrab H.J. Rustomji, "Karachi 1839-1947 A Short History of the Foundation and Growth of Karachi" in Karachi During the British Era Two Histories of A Modern City, Oxford University Press, Karachi, 2007 Pg 52]

Administration

The Karachi Port is administered by a Board of Trustees, comprising Chairman and 10 Trustees. The chairman is appointed by the Federal Government and is also the Chief Executive of the Karachi Port Trust. The remaining 10 Trustees are equally distributed between the public and the private sector. The five public sector Trustees are nominated by the Federal Government. The seats for private sector Trustees are filled by elected representatives of various private sector organizations. This way all port users find a representation in the Board of Trustees.

Currently the role of chairman is taken by Mrs. Nasreen Haque and the general manager of operations is Rear Admiral Agha Danish SI(M).
