Abstract

The aim of this research is to create awareness of maritime among general public, and how this sector can be developed to generate the economic activities. The first chapter of this report describes the importance of maritime sector in our life, and trends of developed/developing countries to lookafter this sector as it is considered the major player in national economy. The methodology used for this research is descriptive type and qualitative in terms. The trends are analyzed with Pakistan. The potential of maritime sector of Pakistan is discussed explored and unexplored. Maritime sector in Pakistan is suffering mainly due to land locked thinking at upper level. This sector is not considered significantly for its growth since Pakistan came into being. This sector is given least priority for investment by the government officials. I have suggested exploring the offshore natural resources living and non-living to take advantage of these resources upto optimum level. Our resources have potential to take our dear homeland out of financial crisis. This sector needs less investment and has potential of outcomes many times of the capital invested.
