Pakistan has been identified as a NEXT11 country, which means it has a high potential of becoming a large economy in the 21st century. Therefore, Yusen Logistics has established and opened a branch in Karachi, the country’s main seaport. Yusen is offering a variety of services, including air and ocean freight forwarding, domestic transportation and customs clearance.
The country is located strategically close to various central Asian countries, and to China, as well as neighboring Afghanistan. Until opening this office Sept. 1, Yusen utilized local agencies in Pakistan to provide ocean freight forwarding services for textiles and consumer goods. Now, it can manage its own operations and expand services moving forward. The group’s medium-term business plan positions the Indian subcontinent as a strategic emerging market area.
