Three maritime companies dominate the profitability rankings among Pakistan’s state‑owned enterprises for fiscal 2024‑25. The consortium led by the Pakistan Maritime Corporation, Karachi Port Authority, and Coastal Transport Limited secured spots within the top ten most profitable SOEs, delivering a combined net profit exceeding PKR 180 billion—roughly one‑twelfth of the overall SOE earnings for the period. Their strong performance stemmed from expanding container traffic, higher cargo volumes, and disciplined cost control throughout their logistics networks. Industry analysts credit strategic upgrades such as digital cargo‑tracking platforms and optimized vessel scheduling for lifting operating margins above sector averages. These outcomes highlight the pivotal contribution of marine transportation to Pakistan’s trade efficiency and broader economic resilience.
