Karachi: DG Port and Shipping, Aaliya Shahid, has stated that a ferry service will soon operate between Karachi and Gwadar. This announcement was made during an event held at the Pakistan Marine Academy to commemorate World Maritime Day.

Speaking to the media on this occasion, DG Port and Shipping Aaliya Shahid mentioned that the Karachi to Gwadar ferry service will be initiated soon, and the Pakistan National Shipping Corporation will provide facilities for this service.
Through this service, travelers between the two cities will have an additional option of sea travel alongside the road route.
