PAKISTAN
Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Muhammad Junaid Anwar Chaudhry has said that advanced space-based monitoring systems can play a key role in safeguarding Pakistan’s seas, improving maritime governance and strengthening responses to environmental and climate-related threats.
He made the remarks during a visit to the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) headquarters—the first-ever visit by a maritime affairs minister to the organization. SUPARCO Chairman Yusuf Khan briefed the minister on satellite-based capabilities for maritime safety, port management, environmental monitoring and disaster response.
The minister was presented with satellite assessments for potential new ports and plans for AI- and satellite-enabled relief and rescue operations. He emphasized the use of space technology to address climate change impacts, protect ocean biodiversity and ensure sustainable use of marine resources, in line with Pakistan’s international commitments.
SUPARCO also proposed artificial intelligence solutions for ports to improve efficiency and maritime safety. Both sides agreed to institutionalize cooperation through a formal framework to enhance coordination in maritime monitoring, disaster management and environmental protection. – ERMD
