KARACHI: A Japanese firm has proposed to start a ferry service from Karachi’s Do
Dorya to Port Qasim and developing other water sports facilities in Sindh.
The proposal came under discussion in a meeting between Chief Minister Syed Murad
Ali Shah and Yamaha Japan Senior General Manager for Central Asia and Middle East
Yoshiyuki ITO.
The CM Sindh told the Japanese company official that there was a great scope to
develop water sports facilities at Keenjhar, Guddu, Sukkur and Kotri Barrages in
collaboration with Yamaha Pakistan.
The visiting Yamaha representative told the CM that a ferry service could be established
from Do Darya to Port Qasim for transport facilities and recreation.

or water scooters, were the best sports.

Seaview was being planned to start ferry service from the Clifton area to the newly
developed Manora waterfront beach.
