On 2nd December 2024, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs (MoMA) and Pakistan National Shipping Corporation (PNSC) hosted a high-level workshop in Karachi on the Refurbishment of Shipping Policy \u2013 2024. The event brought together leading stakeholders from across the maritime industry, including representatives from the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), and other private-sector participants. The primary objective of the workshop was to consolidate and refine stakeholder recommendations for revising Pakistan\u2019s national shipping policy.<\/p>\n
The GCNP\u2013MACN team was formally invited by MoMA to contribute recommendations, reflecting the recognition of the Collective Action Project\u2019s expertise and its extensive engagement with Pakistan\u2019s maritime sector over the past several years. It is not out of place to mention that GCNP-MACN has major contribution in drafting maritime policy at the request of FPCCI and helped their team in formulating a draft policy on behalf of FPCCI. GCNP\u2013MACN provided targeted policy insights to strengthen regulatory frameworks and align incentives with international best practices<\/p>\n
In the conference, the Director General of Ports & Shipping, Ms. Alia Shahid, outlined key policy objectives, including deregulation, infrastructure development, and business-friendly reforms, shipbuilding investments, merchant marine growth, vessel registration, tonnage expansion, and ship recycling. The participants emphasized the urgent need for tax exemptions, simplified regulations, and tangible incentives to encourage shipping companies to register under the Pakistani flag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
