CPEC updates at Gwadar

[chinasun]

Progress seems to be going slow. Was this city not supposed to be the "next Dubai"

China has invested US $10 billion in Gwadar Port and will invest more in the future. It also includes the investment of Chinese enterprises in industrial zones. This is not Pakistan's debt. Gwadar Port should be observed from the perspective of regional transport hub. Considering the political situation in Pakistan, Gwadar Port may slow down, but it is not slow in the Middle East and Central Asia. China also needs to evaluate several ways to connect Gwadar Port and Central Asia in the future. We should also consider docking with the Middle East industry. These are the ideas of regional economic cooperation. China has put forward some ideas of its own and is discussing changes with other countries. This is not to interfere in a country's internal affairs.

Gwadar: 3 million-ton ship-to-ship oil blending facility in the offing​

By Yasir Habib Khan | Gwadar Pro Dec 23, 2022



GWADAR, Dec. 23 (Gwadar Pro)-Chinese firm East Sea Group Limited (ESGL) plans to establish a 3 million-ton ship-to-ship (STS) oil blending facility at sea space in connection with a $4.5 billion oil refinery project in Gwadar. After the venture materializes, Pakistan will earn $ 20,000 to $ 40,000 annually.
The 3 million-ton STS oil blending facility will be established solely on the sea surface without any contact or use of the landmass of Gwadar. The rest of the 5 million-ton oil refinery will be on the land of the Gwadar Free Zone Area (phase II). With the 3 million-ton STS oil blending facility in the first phase and the 5 million-ton oil refinery in the second phase, Hong Kong-based Chinese firm East Sea Group Limited will build up an oil refinery with an annual oil processing capacity of 8 million tons.
The mega plan of the STS oil blending facility was discussed at length in the 45th special urgent meeting of GPA board members. The meeting held at GPA head office Gwadar was participated by GPA board members, COPHC chairman, and ESGL officials.
The meeting agreed to designate a specific sea area away from the 38 sq km anchorage area of Gwadar Port for the establishment of the STS oil blending facility. Instead of the northward side, the facility will be on the south side because the northward area has a depth of only 15 meters, while the southward side has a depth that ranges from 35 to 37 meters, which appropriately serves the purpose.
Furthermore, Chairman GPA Pasand Khan Buleidi assured the visiting delegation of East Sea Group Limited of tax facilitation and duty exemptions set forth by all procedural and legal frameworks under Pakistan's transshipment rules.
On the occasion, the ESGL officials committed that the company will buy 30 percent crude oil from the local market of Pakistan as Pakistan boasts 19 million tons of crude oil capacity.

Gwadar port receives another DAP fertilizer vessel under APTTA​

January 16, 2023

ISLAMABAD, Jan 15 (APP):The Gwadar Port being operated under the flagship China Economic Corridor (CPEC) has received another bulk vessel of DAP for Afghan Transit Trade and will discharge approximately 28000 metric tons.

An official of the Planning Ministry told APP that the DAP fertilizer received on the port would be transported via Chamman and Torkham.

The official added that entire East Bay Express Way in the port city had been filled with trucks waiting to enter in Gwadar Port.

The port has also started receiving government imports of bulk cargos as three consecutive vessels carrying 90,000 MT urea have already arrived at the port and clocked the fastest discharge rate.

This represents the efforts of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Authority, Gwadar Port Authority (GPA), Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) and Pakistan Customs, the official added.

These bulk cargos were discharged and after bagging at the port are transported from Gwadar to other destinations in Pakistan. Next month Gwadar Port will start handling 450,000 MT of TCP wheat.

Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) on behalf of the government decided to handle the import of urea and wheat through Gwadar Port. This movement will ease the huge congestion at other ports of Pakistan due to the high traffic of vessels carrying bulk cargoes, which results in delaying the operation and transportation of shipments; thus, disturbing the entire supply chain mechanism.

Import of these government cargoes offers substantial benefits to locals and will generate various economic activities and employment opportunities for locals in terms of 100% shipping agencies services by locals, a top priority for local transporters etc.

Gwadar Port is the industrial nerve center of Gwadar Free Zone and offers substantial economic benefits to importers in terms of highly efficient operations, advanced cargo handling, vast storage areas for all types of cargo, extensive ancillary facilities, and faster turnaround time & delivery. Gwadar Port due to its unique geographical position makes it a fast-economical link between land-locked central Asian states and the rest of the country.

Gwadar port and Freezone are all set to become the hub of international trade which will help the country in earning much-needed foreign exchange in the near future which also is in line with the vision of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to promote regional economic integration.

A sizable share to import of wheat and urea at Gwadar Port will play a vital role in the operationalization and also generating business opportunities both in Gwadar and along CPEC highways which is very essential for the uplift of Balochistan.
