LAHORE: The first batch of 30 completely-built up (CBUs), along with 250 completely knock-down (CKD) units, of hopper railway wagons has reached Karachi port.
The trial-run of 30 CBU hopper wagons would be initiated within a couple of days, a meeting presided over by railways minister Khwaja Saad Rafique was informed on Wednesday.
Under an agreement, the railways ministry signed with China’s Jinan Railway Vehicles Equipment Company in January this year, all the 800 hopper wagons, designed to transport coal, would reach Pakistan within the next 12 months.
The Chinese company would supply 200 CBU and 580 CKD hopper wagons to railways.
The CBU wagons would be added to the Pakistan Railways (PR) fleet to transport coal from Port Bin Qasim to power plants, including the adjacent ones at Qadirabad near Sahiwal.
All the 580 CKD wagons would be assembled at the PR’s Mughalpura workshop at Lahore.
The induction of hopper wagons would enable the PR to transport six million tons of coal daily from Port Bin Qasim to the two power projects.
The meeting was informed that bids had been invited for the supply of 55 locomotives of American origin. Having capacity ranging between 4,000 and 4,500 horsepower, these locomotives would increase the train load capacity to 3,400 tons from the present 2,400 tons.
The minister said that by transporting coal from Port Qasim to power plants, the PR would earn additional Rs6 billion annually.
