KARACHI: Seafood exports could receive a boost as the newly constructed floating jetty at Korangi Fish Harbour provides local fishermen with a safer and more hygienic facility to land their catch.
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Korangi Fish Harbour Authority, Asim Abrar, visited the newly constructed facility. The jetty aims to address longstanding difficulties faced by fishermen who lacked a proper landing point for their catch.
The new facility will particularly support small-scale fishermen. It will allow them to offload seafood more efficiently while reducing handling problems that can affect freshness and market value.

The initiative could also support Pakistan’s seafood exports by improving hygiene and product quality. Higher-quality seafood can help exporters compete more effectively in international markets and secure better prices.
The project is expected to generate greater foreign exchange for Pakistan while supporting the livelihoods of fishing communities. It could also contribute to the broader development of the country’s seafood sector.
