Jinnah Naval Base (Urdu: جناح بحری مستقر) is a strategic naval base of the Pakistan Navy located at Ormara, Balochistan, Pakistan. It is named after Pakistan's founder, Mohammad Ali Jinnah. It is Pakistan's second largest naval base.[1]

Location

Jinnah Naval Base is situated about 240 km west (149 miles) of Karachi at Ormara in Pakistan's Balochistan province. By land, via the Makran Coastal Highway it is 350 km (217.48 miles) from Karachi and 285 km from Gwadar.[2]

Construction history

The Ministry of Defence approved the proposal of constructing the naval base away from the maritime boundaries of India, and initially awarded the contract to two European countries–Belgium and Turkey– with the ground breaking ceremony taking place on 17 March 1994.: 133 [3] The project was aimed towards spending ₨. 4.5Bn (500Mn. USD), and the contract was awarded to Turkish firms, STFA Group and STM, Belgium firm, Jan De Nul, and Pakistani firms, FWO and MES.: 35 [4]

The time line for the naval base to become operational was March 1997.: 13 [5]

On 22 June 2000, the Jinnah Naval Base was inaugurated by then-Chief Executive Gen. Pervez Musharraf in a ceremony attended by Faruk Bal, the Turkish Minister of State, and V-Adm. Taj Muhammad.[6] Gen. Musharraf termed the opening of the base a long-standing requirement of Pakistan Navy that had become a reality after many years of hard work.[6]

Work on selection of the site for the Jinnah Naval Base commenced in 1990. The contract was awarded to Turkish company STFA and Jan De Nul of Belgium for offshore and land development in December 1992. Construction of the Base began in 1994 and the Base was inaugurated on 22 January 2000 by General Pervez Musharraf. The Base was constructed at a cost of Rs. 4.5 billion.

Salient features

Jinnah Naval Base can provide berthing facilities to eight warships and four submarines at a time. This facility can be expanded in future with the expansion of the Base. The Base is currently in the process of modernization to meet Pakistan's increasing defence needs.[2] To develop future naval officers, Cadet College Ormara has been established.[7]

Submarine base

In April 2014, Pakistan Navy announced that it is in the process of shifting primary operations and naval assets, including its entire fleet of diesel-electric submarines (SSKs), from Karachi to the Jinnah Naval Base in Ormara.[8]
