To facilitate construction of additional terminals at Gwadar Port by its Operator and for smooth shipments to and from the existing berthing facilities this project is proposed for carrying out capital and maintenance dredging.

Besides the operation of the existing port facilities, the operator has to carry out expansion works all along the seashore of Gwadar East Bay constructing additional terminals and port infrastructure. Under the Concession Agreement, however, construction of breakwaters and dredging works are the responsibilities of Gwadar Port Authority. For construction of Container Terminals on the western and northwestern side (initially 1.200 km &upto maximum 10.00 km) of the existing multi-purpose terminal and second phase terminals on the eastern side (4.200 km), capital dredging works on a continual basis and maintenance dredging on continual bases are required.
