DP World expands operations in Pakistan

2/12/2011 10:44:36 AM

DP World has expanded its operations in Pakistan with the official opening of its Inland Container Terminal (ICT) in Lahore.   DP World Lahore, also known as the Prem Nagar Dry Port, is well positioned to serve Pakistan's largest hinterland market - the Lahore-Sahiwal region - and is directly linked by rail to Qasim International Container Terminal (QICT), a premier gateway port managed and operated by DP World Karachi more than 1,000 km away.   The ICT's inauguration closely follows last month's opening of Terminal 2 in Port Qasim, which expanded QICT's capacity from 900,000 TEU to around 1.2 million TEU. This was part of DP World's three-phase development plans in Pakistan and the largest ever investment in the port sector there.   The ICT facility in Lahore is built on 40+ hectares of land and is connected by an extensive network of railway lines and roads to some of the country's most populous areas.   The terminal will be managed and operated by DP World in a joint venture with Pakistani maritime terminal operator, Premier Mercantile Services (PMS).   Eyefortransport
