The newly constructed deep water port near west wharf and east wharf is regarded as a new port...could be an extension also. It is one of the biggest in south Asia...

Global port operator Hutchinson Ports has begun the second phase of work on the Pakistan Deep Water Container Port project at the Karachi Port Trust.

The undertaking will see Hutchinson Ports invest USD 240 million into upgrades that will bring the terminal’s container handling capacity to 3.2 million TEU.

I have been there too, the mangrove area is huge, bigger than the size of Karachi city many times over, need to open this for eco tourism and other activities.

And it has become a high security zone because of port Qasim.

There are essentially two ports in Karachi: Port of Karachi (administered by Karachi Port Trust or KPT) and Port Qasim. What you are referring to are terminals located within the Port of Karachi. Hutchison's Pakistan Deep Water Container Port is one of such terminals. Others are Pakistan International Bulk Terminal (PIBT), Karachi International Container Terminal (KICT) and Pakistan International Container Terminal (PICT).
