Gwadar port is located at Gwadar city at the entrance of the Persian Gulf on Arabian Sea. It is about 460 km west of Karachi in the province of Balochistan, Pakistan. Gwadar port, is a deep-sea warm water port, constructed in two phases with heavy investment from China.

The deep-sea Gwadar Port became operational in 2008 when a ship carrying 52000 tones of wheat from Canada anchored at the port. All arrangements are in place to offload the wheat to be transported across the country for domestic use.The ship arrived here with 72000 tonnes of wheat but before it was anchored, 20,000 tonnes wheat was off loaded from it and transported to Karachi. The port went fully functional on 21 December 2008[1], when a ship carrying fertilizer from Qatar docked.
