00:00Before this, the leading port of Pakistan, instead of working around the clock, only worked for 7 hours.

00:09Yes, as you mentioned about KPT.

00:11The problem with KPT is that our country is in the north-south.

00:16And in Karachi, KPT is in the south.

00:21And the whole city is in the north.

00:23So when the goods come to the port, they have to cross the whole city to get to the national highway, super highway or train.

00:29So there is a lot of congestion in the city.

00:32Yes.

00:33So many years ago, as you were saying about Karachi,

00:36many years ago the court's decision was that the heavy traffic is only at night.

00:43At 11 o'clock.

00:44They gave 7 hours at night.

00:45Yes, they gave 7 hours at 11 o'clock.

00:47So only 7 hours at night, out of 24 hours, the rest of the time we took out.

00:52You can't go there.

00:53Then the government offices, other than the court, like customs, plant protection and many other departments,

01:01they work during the day.

01:02Oh.

01:036 hours.

01:04So when you combine all these things, there is congestion, management issues.

01:09When you combine all these things.

01:11And there is no digitalized operation.

01:13No.

01:14Okay.

01:15So when you combine all these things, when a container or any cargo comes from there,

01:21it has to get off the ship and reach the place where the user wants to reach.

01:26In fact, it takes a very long time to leave the port and Karachi.

01:30It takes more than a week.

01:31Sir, now tell me.

01:32Yes.

01:33Now the plan to take it from 2,600 to 9,000 Arabs, a lot of alcohol will also be merged in it.

01:39Yes.

01:40How effective will this plan be in your opinion?

01:42One deadline has been given till 30th March.

01:44Yes.

01:45Will there be more deadlines in the future?

01:47In this, as I told you, the effort so far, a maritime task force was formed.

01:53Okay.

01:54The maritime task force, as I said, basically focused on these five sectors.

02:00There are a lot of sectors anyway.

02:02And after studying all of them, a report was presented to the Prime Minister.

02:07Okay.

02:08And all the recommendations were given to him as to what can be done in this.

02:12And what is the scope of this in the future.

02:15On the basis of that, a report was given.

02:18Usually, a report is given and then it is filed.

02:21Yes.

02:22But this time, a good element is that the government has formed a task force implementation committee on the basis of this report.

02:30Okay.

02:31And it has been given timelines.

02:33That this work should be done by this date or within this period.

02:38Yes.

02:39And I am also a part of that implementation committee.

02:42It has a meeting every two weeks.

02:44Okay.

02:45On the basis of progress.

02:46So, all the stakeholders are called and asked, what is this?

02:49You have reached the target.

02:51So, the meeting is still going on.

02:53Okay.

02:54One thing is very surprising for me.

02:55One thing is that our clearance system is not new for scanners.

02:58Yes.

02:59It takes a lot of time.

03:00Yes.

03:01And in the international level, it takes up to 72 hours maximum.

03:03Here, it can take up to 14 days.

03:04Yes.

03:05In which some factors have been included.

03:06Yes.

03:07You have also given reference.

03:08Okay.

03:09So, the question is that the rest of the arrangements are being made.

03:10All the things are there.

03:11If it happens, then how much capacity can we increase in it?

03:16That is, to what level we have to ourselves.

03:18This target of 9000 billion is present.

03:20Yes, this is right.

03:21But.

03:22Can we achieve that realistically?

03:23I am telling you that it depends on how fast we implement and move forward.

03:28Like the efficiency in the port, when we reduce it, the businesses will benefit as much.

03:34Yes.

03:35And the cost will also be less.

03:36The cost will also be less, etc.

03:37One is this.

03:38It is being digitalized.

03:39Hmm.

03:40Pakistan single window, which is already operational and custom.

03:41Yes.

03:42It is being digitized.

03:43A sub-part of it is maritime single window.

03:44Hmm.

03:45It is also called port community system.

03:46It is also called PCS.

03:47Okay.

03:48It is also called PCS.

03:49Okay.

03:50That will be implemented, God willing, in the next few months.

03:51Okay.

03:52So, one benefit from that will be, apart from other things, that the ship that is coming,

03:53it will not be a passenger ship.

03:54Okay.

03:55It will not be a passenger ship.

03:56Okay.
