KARACHI, August 24, 2026: A new floating jetty at Korangi Fish Harbour is set to provide major relief to local fishermen. The jetty will allow them to unload their catch in a safer, cleaner and more hygienic environment.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Korangi Fish Harbour Authority, Asim Abrar, visited the newly constructed facility. The visit highlighted efforts to improve facilities for fishermen and strengthen Pakistan’s seafood sector.

Better Facilities for Fishermen

Fishermen in nearby areas have long faced difficulties when landing their catch. They lacked a proper jetty facility for safe and efficient unloading.

The new floating jetty is expected to address this problem. It will make the handling process easier for fishermen and help reduce damage to freshly caught seafood.

The facility is particularly important for small-scale fishermen. Better handling can help them preserve the freshness of their catch and secure improved prices in local markets.

Supporting Seafood Quality

Improved handling could also benefit Pakistan’s seafood export industry. Fresh seafood requires careful handling from the moment it reaches the shore.

The new facility will provide a more hygienic environment for unloading the catch. This could help improve the quality of seafood supplied to exporters.

Higher-quality products can also help Pakistani exporters compete more effectively in international markets. Better quality may allow exporters to secure stronger prices for seafood products.

Boosting Exports and Fishermen’s Livelihoods

The initiative is expected to support Pakistan’s foreign exchange earnings by strengthening seafood exports. A more efficient landing facility can help connect fishermen with better market opportunities.

The project could also improve the livelihoods of fishermen in surrounding areas. Better infrastructure can reduce handling difficulties while helping them protect the value of their catch.

The new floating jetty therefore serves more than a landing facility. It represents an effort to improve working conditions for fishermen and strengthen Pakistan’s seafood supply chain.
