Ongoing Nationwide Transport Strike in Pakistan: Updates and Impact on Logistics

28 Avr Ongoing Nationwide Transport Strike in Pakistan: Updates and Impact on Logistics

Current Situation

The ongoing nationwide strike by goods transporters across Pakistan continues to severely disrupt the country’s supply chain. Despite announcements from the Prime Minister, the strike has not ended, and major transportation routes remain paralyzed. Movement of vehicles from upcountry regions to Karachi is at a complete standstill, resulting in delays for both imports and exports

Economic and Operational Impact

The strike has inflicted significant losses on transporters and freight forwarders alike. With shipments delayed at ports and across the country, the cost of doing business is rising sharply. Detention charges for containers are accumulating, creating further financial burdens for importers and exporters.

Additionally, the delays are damaging Pakistan’s reputation in the global market, as late shipments compromise the country’s ability to meet international commitments. Industries reliant on the timely export of goods are particularly vulnerable.
