| Summary: | Pakistan’s maritime sector has long been neglected despite holding immense potential for economic development and regional connectivity. However, operational, governance, and environmental challenges hindered exploiting its untapped potential. Recognizing the need to overhaul the sector, in light of the 2025 National Maritime Policy (NMP) policy draft, the Prime Minister of Pakistan approved certain directives. These reforms seek to align the maritime sector with the principles of the blue economy. This paper evaluates the proposed directives and the implementation challenges of governance, operational efficiency, and sustainability concerns. By analyzing these structural and operational reforms, the paper proposes actionable recommendations and a strategic approach to unlock Pakistan’s maritime potential and elevate its position as a competitive player in the regional and global maritime landscape. |
