Pakistan's Major Ports

The Arabian sea is in the south of pakistan and is the northern part of indian Ocean. The Arabian sea has been a lifeline of international trade since the middle ages.
 
The Karachi Ports:
Karachi Port is the oldest in pakistan. It is one of the important ports in the region, catering to the needs of international trade between the country and the rest of the world. It has also great potential to be used by Afghanistan and the central Asian republics as their gateway to the world, using pakistan as a transit for their international trade.
                                                        

  
Bin Qasim Port:
in view of pakistan steel mill and the country's growing international trade a new port, the Bin Qasim Port, was built some 35 kilometers west of karachi.
                                                     
Gawadar Port: 
Gawadar port in Baluchistan was built with Chinese cooperation. With the passage of time this port is anticipated to assume an ever-greater role in the country's international trade and development.

A part from these three major seaports, there are small ones at Omara, Pasni, and Jeevani. These ports are basically large fish markets.
