In a major development to enhance regional connectivity, Pakistan and Türkiye have announced plans to launch a ferry service between the two countries in the near future. The initiative, currently under final review by both governments, is expected to strengthen trade, tourism, and cultural exchange across the region.
According to official sources, the proposed ferry route will likely connect Karachi or Gwadar in Pakistan with Istanbul or Izmir in Türkiye, offering passengers and traders a new, cost-effective mode of transport. Technical and logistical assessments are underway to finalize docking points, security protocols, and ticketing systems.
Government officials from both sides hailed the move as a symbol of strong bilateral relations, emphasizing that the ferry service would open new avenues for business and tourism cooperation.
The service is expected to become operational once feasibility studies and maritime agreements are completed, potentially making it a historic first for direct sea travel between Pakistan and Türkiye.
