#Pakistan's naval market looks very different today compared to the 1990s and 2000s. Not only is Karachi Shipyards & Engineering Works (KSEW) more involved in production, but there is a strong initiative on Pakistan's part to develop original solutions. These solutions range from specific subsystems all the way up to full surface and subsurface platforms. In this brief, we look at how foreign and domestic OEMs can leverage these shifts to build viable long-term business opportunities. https://lnkd.in/eDNEsMKE

The delay in the commercialization of Gwadar International Airport has drawn significant criticism. Originally set for earlier operational status, the airport's opening has faced repeated postponements due to technical and logistical challenges, including delays in the delivery of equipment from China. The latest timeline suggests operations might begin by mid-2024. Despite its virtual inauguration in October 2024, concerns about the region's security situation and inadequate planning have impeded progress. Gwadar Airport, a flagship project under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), is a key piece of infrastructure intended to transform the region into an economic hub. However, these delays have raised concerns about the efficiency of project execution and the region's development trajectory​.

King Abdul Aziz Port in Dammam Launches TPA Service to Link Saudi Arabia with Chinese Ports and the Pacific Ocean Shipping Arabia, April 26, 2024 — The Saudi Ports Authority "Mawani" has enhanced King Abdul Aziz Port’s global connectivity with the introduction of the TPA service operated by Evergreen, linking Saudi Arabia directly to Chinese ports and the Pacific Ocean. This initiative is designed to facilitate trade and export activities, thereby expanding the Kingdom’s reach into vital international markets. The service addition aligns with Mawani’s strategic objectives to augment port efficiency and bolster infrastructure capabilities. It follows significant infrastructural investments at King Abdul Aziz Port, including the expansion of two container terminals in collaboration with the Saudi Global Ports Company "SGP." This project, funded by over seven billion riyals and executed on a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) basis, is anticipated to increase container handling capacity to 7.5 million TEUs, reflecting a growth of more than 120%. Connecting Dammam with 11 regional and international ports, the TPA service by Evergreen includes stops at Kelang, Malaysia; Cai Mep, Vietnam; and prominent Chinese ports like Hong Kong, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, and Yantian, as well as Taipei and Kaohsiung in Taiwan, Um Qasr in Iraq, and Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates. Operating on a weekly schedule, this service offers a capacity of up to 6,000 TEUs. King Abdul Aziz Port serves as a crucial logistical node on the Arabian Gulf, linked by rail to Riyadh Dry Port and acting as a primary channel for the influx of goods to Saudi Arabia’s Eastern and Central regions. This role is crucial in the implementation of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy (NTLS), aimed at establishing Saudi Arabia as a global logistics hub bridging three continents. The introduction of the TPA service is expected to significantly bolster King Abdul Aziz Port's capabilities, enhancing its status in the international maritime logistics sector and supporting the Kingdom's economic expansion.

👉🏻A recent report by Global Defence Corp has brought forth serious allegations against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, accusing her of embezzling over $5 billion from the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant project. According to the report, Rosatom, the project’s Russian implementing agency, allegedly played a role in facilitating the embezzlement through a Malaysian bank. The report further implicates her son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, and her niece, Tulip Siddiq, as mediators in the operation. 👉🏻The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, the largest and most ambitious project in Bangladesh, is expected to fulfill 20% of the nation’s electricity needs once completed. However, the report claims that the construction cost, originally estimated at $12.65 billion, was deliberately inflated to allow for the misappropriation of funds. #Corruption #Bangladesh #LeadershipFail #Accountability #Scandal #NuclearEnergy #Transparency #PoliticalCorruption
