August 05, 2024 (MLN): Pakistan National Shipping Corporation (PNSC) has been proposed to be included in the privatization list as it is not a strategic institution, the Federal Minister of Naval Affairs Jarrar Haider Kazmi stated while briefing journalists in Karachi.

He further said that the amount of profit that PNSC earns can be increased significantly.

According to Jarrar Haider Kazmi, this year's profit for the company is expected to be Rs20 billion.

In comparison, last year's income was more than Rs30bn, reflecting a declining trend in performance.

Notably, last year's revenue increase was due to the sale of ships, a strong dollar, and higher freight rates.
