Based
on a thorough economic and industrial analysis, shipping trends analysis and
long term forecasting study (undertaken by Arthur D. Little), a master plan for
the development of Gwadar Port was developed and adopted in 2006. The plan uses
a planning horizon of fifty years. The outlook plan for 2055 envisions a total
quay-length of 50 km, a total throughput volume of 300-400 million tons of
cargo and a port land area of about 10,000 hectares.
The
master plan also contains a physical development program for the first 15
years, covering the period 2006-2021. The traffic forecasts developed for the
next 15-20 years indicate cargo volumes in the range of 50-60 million tons per
year.
More
details on the different cargo terminals planned under the 15-year & 50
year physical development program are provided below.

Port
Authority (GPA) as landlord
The
Government of Pakistan has adopted the landlord concept for new port
development. In practice, this means that GPA will drive the overall
development of the port and will raise the funds for development of general
port infrastructure (primarily dredging of access channels and construction of
breakwaters), while private sector investors will be the primary source for the
development of terminals and cargo handling capacity. Reputable private
investor-operators will be sought on a BOT (Build-Own-Transfer) basis for the
design, construction and operations of the various terminals that are foreseen.
BOT-agreements will be strictly on a concession-basis only, with no allowance
for cross-share-holdings between the landlord-regulator and the terminal
operators. In the longer term, as much as possible, different cargo types will
be handled by dedicated terminals. This will allow for terminals to be
developed and operated by dedicated operators who are specialized in these
particular operations.
