Container transportation in Pakistan from Ibrahim Logistics: Domestic transport of 20ft and 40ft containers and loose cargo from the ports to every city of Pakistan.
Most containers that arrive in Karachi are going somewhere else – a mill in Faisalabad, a factory in Lahore, a warehouse in Islamabad. We move them by road on trailers and, where it makes sense, by rail, with tracking and a driver contact for every trip.
Domestic freight is also available for loose cargo, machinery and full-truck loads between cities.

- 20ft and 40ft containers on trailers
