Pakistan’s Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works (KSEW) is to issue a request for proposals to three international companies to provide design consultancy on the construction of two additional naval shipyards.
The two yards – to be located at Gwadar, in Balochistan Province, and Port Qasim near Karachi in Sindh Province – are scheduled to be constructed under a public-private partnership and equipped with facilities to build both naval and commercial vessels from about 2013 or 2014.
