“…Meanwhile, ADB [5] pointed out that, given regional economic development and the accession of Turkmenistan and Pakistan to the CAREC programme, 'an adjustment in emphasis is needed, giving as much importance to north-south and intra-regional links as with the east-west corridors between East Asia and Europe.' In this context, Yousefi [33] highlighted the role of Iran as a gateway for CA cargo.…”

Central Asia (CA), comprising six independent countries and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China (XUAR), is an archetypal landlocked region suffering from poor access to global markets. Possible gateway seaports for CA cargo are scattered across the Eurasian continent, and access requires long-haul transport. Thanks to their shorter hinterland transport distances, Pakistani ports, including Gwadar Port, which has drawn attention in the context of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, are investing a substantial amount in their infrastructure, with the aim of becoming the new gateway seaport for CA cargo. This paper aims to analyse the market potential of Gwadar Port and other Pakistani ports as gateways of the cargo to/from CA countries, including China and Russia, applying a two-layered network assignment model, developed from the perspective of shippers, under six scenario conditions. To overcome the lack of data availability in the region, surveys and interviews were conducted. The simulation results, based on several policy scenarios concerning the use of Gwadar Port, with hinterland connections and reduced border barriers, show that the port could handle a sustainable number of containers. If the hinterland rail network effectively connected the port to the CA countries via the XUAR, Pakistani ports could become gateways for CA cargo.

A repeatable strategic planning model for quasi-governmental port entities which recognizes and includes the aspects of blended public and political interests in port ownership is presented in this chapter. This model, developed over a period of forty years, has been successfully implemented in quasi-governmental port entities in the United States and Canada. It is supported by the strategic planning literature, best practices in port planning, and the perspectives and experiences of a port chief executive officer. This model consists of the sequential components of Legitimacy and Support, Public Value Proposition, Mission Statement, SWOT Analysis, Objectives and Strategies, Evaluation and Review, and Renewal as well as the dynamic elements of ongoing Communication and Consultation, where Legitimacy and Support for the strategic plan is maintained with both public and private constituencies throughout the process.
