Pakistan to face repercussions form the transport sector strike

The recent strike by the transport sector is going to have adverse impact on exports as there are no vacant containers available in upcountry for exports.

In a statement issued to the press, Spokesman of All Pakistan Textile Mills Association said that as a result of unavailability of empty containers in upcountry due to strike of transport sector, exporters are missing shipment deadlines. One additional factor that is a major cause of the scarcity of containers is the large number of orders that have been received from China after the effectiveness of the Phase II of the Free Trade Agreement between China and Pakistan.

APTMA Spokesman further added that even if the containers were to be dispatched from Karachi today they would take 3 days to reach upcountry where exporters have already have had 2 days without containers; effectively a further week of exports would have been delayed/lost.

Under these circumstances, we request the government to take immediate action for resolving the issue so that no more exporting deadlines are missed.
