NEW IN KARACHI (CHINA PORT)

yes ! pakistan government has decided to build up new ports and many mega projects its starts from the brand new china port karachi which is situated at clifton karachi .By now you must have come across these pictures of a large pavement surrounded by weirdly shaped rocks in the middle of the sea on your social media newsfeeds.

Believe it or not, these pictures are from the newly inaugurated Pakistan Deep Water Container Port in Karachi. The pictures you saw are part of this port and people are calling it ‘China Port’ simply because it has been made in collaborating with Hong Kong-based Hutchison Ports and Karachi Port Trust (KPT).

The pavement surrounded by these rocks is actually a waterbreak for the port which protects it from harsh sea waves.

Since this is something new and unique in Karachi, it has quickly become a major attraction for photographers, tourists, videographers, and general folk.

In case you thought these weird looking rocks have been placed around and above the pavement for beautification, you’ll be surprised to know that these rocks actually serve an important purpose.

Now all of us are quite aware of the fact that the sea can sometimes get very angry and produce gigantic waves splashes which can hit the shore real hard.

These waves have a lot of power in them can be dangerous to nearby structures, shore or ships. When tetrapods are placed in an interlocking pattern, they form a porous boundary.

So if at any time the sea decides to throw huge waves, these rocks will absorb a portion of the power thanks to their porous nature. This effectively protects the shores from damages caused by strong and angry waves.
