Maritime Security on High Alert at Pakistani Ports; Fishing Boats Banned from Going to Sea

Karachi: In response to escalating security concerns, maritime security has been placed on high alert at all Pakistani ports. As part of enhanced security measures, an immediate ban has been imposed on all small and large boats, including fishing vessels, from leaving the shore.

Ban on Boats; Commercial Shipping Unaffected

Sources at the ports have confirmed that hundreds of fishing boats have been prohibited from going to sea, and the permits for these boats have been canceled. However, the commercial shipping traffic will continue as usual, with no disruptions expected to cargo operations. The ban is designed to improve security and restrict unnecessary movement at sea, ensuring better control over the maritime domain.

Purpose of the Restriction

The decision to impose this restriction comes amid growing concerns over maritime security and aims to minimize any potential threats to port operations. By restricting small boat movement, authorities aim to maintain control over the waters while allowing commercial vessels to operate without hindrance.
