The Port of Pasni (Urdu: بندر گاہ پسنى) is located in the town of Pasni, Gwadar District, Balochistan province, Pakistan. The facilities include a modern fish harbour with four piers and a cargo jetty,[1] together with a coast guard base called PMSA Rishad, operated by the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency.[2] The port has been suffering from silting since at least 2003, with unsuccessful attempts at clearing the harbour.[3][4]
