## Company Profile VIKING SHIPPING SERVICES (Pakistan) — Islamabad-based freight forwarding contact. Company website listed (http://www.viking-pk.com). Likely a small-to-mid regional forwarder providing sea/air international forwarding, customs clearance, container consolidation and local haulage/warehousing for exporters in Pakistan (textiles, rice and other agri-commodities). No public financials found; operating from Pakistan’s main export gateways (Karachi/Port Qasim) with an Islamabad office contact on file. ## Pain Points 1) Port congestion & schedule risk: Karachi remains Pakistan’s primary gateway with chronic container congestion at peak export windows; exporters of basmati rice and seasonal apparel face demurrage and re-scheduling risk. Forwarders must manage bookings, re-route to Port Qasim/Gwadar alternatives and negotiate capacity during spikes. 2) Surge in basmati volumes (early-2026) creating capacity and consolidation pressure: Basmati exports rebounded sharply in Jan–Feb 2026 (matching prior six months’ volume in two months), producing urgent demand for reliable export bookings, consolidation services and buyer matching for many small-to-medium mills/traders. 3) Buyer compliance & market access demands: EU/US buyers increasingly require traceability, pesticide/MRL documentation and ESG checks (especially for basmati and apparel). Exporters need help securing compliant buyers and handling pre-shipment QA, paperwork and value-chain traceability to keep premium access. (Each of these pain points maps to activities Viking likely handles and to services Tridge Ark can deliver by originating exporter clients into a managed buyer & logistics pipeline.) ## Intel Summary === MULTI-DIMENSION RESEARCH === === 1. [MARKET EVENTS] Pakistan export flows 2026 – textiles, rice, ports, CPEC === • **Overall export context (2024/25–2026):** – USDA estimates Pakistan’s **total rice exports at 5.2 MMT in MY 2024/25**, down ~20% YoY due to lower non‑basmati shipments and pricing pressure, even as basmati holds up better.

([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_industry_in_Pakistan?utm_source=openai)) • **Basmati rice export flow pattern in early 2026:** – Pakistan exported **250,269 tonnes of basmati rice in Jul–Dec 2025**, then **258,835 tonnes in Jan–Feb 2026 alone**, effectively matching the prior six months in just two months. ([dawn.com](https://www.dawn.com/news/1986688/annual-basmati-rice-exports-bouncing-back-after-weak-start?utm_source=openai)) – FY 2024/25 basmati exports were **808,643 tonnes**; to match this, Pakistan needs c. **299,000 tonnes more in 2026 (≈75,000 t/month)**—viewed by traders as “achievable” given the current pace. ([dawn.com](https://www.dawn.com/news/1986688/annual-basmati-rice-exports-bouncing-back-after-weak-start?utm_source=openai)) – Drivers of the rebound: • Redirection of some demand from India due to **Indian price undercutting combined with INR depreciation (~9%)** paradoxically prompting some premium buyers to diversify suppliers; • Geopolitical disruptions in Gulf/Red Sea that have intermittently re‑routed shipments and freight. ([dawn.com](https://www.dawn.com/news/1986688/annual-basmati-rice-exports-bouncing-back-after-weak-start?utm_source=openai)) • **Textile export flows & buyer behavior (2025–Q1 2026):** – Pakistan is among the **top seven apparel suppliers to the US**, alongside China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, collectively accounting for 78% of US apparel imports. ([usfashionindustry.com](https://www.usfashionindustry.com/resources/research-reports/usfia-sourcing-trends-outlook?utm_source=openai)) – Pakistan’s global textile and clothing export share in 2022 was **~2.2%**, indicating room for growth but also vulnerability to shifts in orders and tariffs. ([pbc.org.pk](https://www.pbc.org.pk/research/the-us-market-for-imported-apparel-pakistan/?utm_source=openai)) – Inspection/QA data show buyers reallocating some volumes within Asia due to US–China tension; Pakistan is one of the beneficiaries but lags Vietnam/Bangladesh for volume growth. (QIMA’s Q1‑2026 barometer shows sourcing away from China with growth concentrated in other Asian and nearshore locations.) ([qima.com](https://www.qima.com/newsroom/news/news-q1-2026-barometer?utm_source=openai)) • **Karachi Port – congestion and capacity situation (2025–2026):** – Karachi remains Pakistan’s main gateway; the port traditionally handles **~60%+ of national seaborne trade**, with chronic congestion pressure from container traffic and limited hinterland connectivity. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_of_Karachi?utm_source=openai)) – The federal government has been alleviating congestion by: • routing more cargo via **Port Qasim** (30 km east of Karachi); • promoting **Gwadar** as a third major port; • adding **new berths at KICT (Karachi International Container Terminal) with 14 m depth and +100,000 m² stacking area** to raise container capacity. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_of_Karachi?utm_source=openai)) – Recent analytics on Pakistan’s container traffic (2024 data, published 2026) indicate total container throughput rising but still below pre‑crisis potential; investment focus is shifting toward hinterland links and digitalization rather than pure berth expansion. ([osti.gov](https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/1344537?utm_source=openai)) – Practical implication for exporters (textiles, rice): • **Schedule risk** remains highest at Karachi in peak export windows (post‑harvest rice, major apparel shipping seasons); • Some export programs (especially higher‑margin basmati and time‑sensitive apparel) are being **staggered or moved to Port Qasim** to de‑risk schedule slippage and demurrage. • **Gwadar Port & CPEC Phase II – 2026 status and relevance to agri/textiles:** – CPEC Phase II is “well underway” as of **March 2026**, but with **“mixed” progress**—strong on some infrastructure pieces, slower on financing and industrialization.

([grand-review.com](https://www.grand-review.com/article/cpec-phase-ii-in-2026-navigating-the-nuances-of-progress-and-unfulfilled-potenti-mmxs013d?utm_source=openai)) – Government/industry documents envision **phase‑wise expansion of Gwadar** from 3 berths and 11 MTPA now to **200 MTPA by 2029 and 400 MTPA by 2049**, with capability to handle Neopanamax and >200,000 DWT vessels in Phase II. ([fcci.com.pk](https://fcci.com.pk/fcci-pdf/CPEC-Phase-2.pdf?utm_source=openai)) – Corridor connectivity: • The **M‑8 motorway** (east‑west) and **Gwadar Eastbay Expressway Phase II** (approved August 10, 2025, with PKR 200 million federal allocation) should, once complete, improve truck flows between Gwadar, new airport, and inland markets. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-8_motorway_%28Pakistan%29?utm_source=openai)) • A **$1 bn plan announced March 26, 2026** highlights using Gwadar + Karachi as twin gateways to route **Central Asian trade** through Pakistan, leveraging CPEC road/rail links and customs reforms. ([cpicglobal.com](https://www.cpicglobal.com/pakistans-1-billion-plan-to-route-central-asian-trade-through-gwadar-karachi/?utm_source=openai)) – For 2026 agri/textile flows: • Gwadar is **strategically important but not yet a main export node** for rice or textiles—most containerized exports still route via Karachi/Port Qasim; • As CPEC logistics and free‑zone incentives mature, Gwadar is being positioned for **bulk commodity and transit trade** (Central Asian grain, fertilizer, possibly some rice in bulk), with textiles more likely to remain Karachi/Qasim‑focused in the medium term.

[DEMAND SIGNALS] Europe & US demand for Pakistani textiles, sourcing & nearshoring (2025–2026) === • **EU demand for apparel & Pakistan’s position:** – Europe imported **€180.5 bn of apparel in 2024 (29.3 bn units)**, slightly down in volume vs 2023 but still a large, relatively resilient market. ([cbi.eu](https://www.cbi.eu/market-information/apparel/what-demand?utm_source=openai)) – Within EU apparel imports from developing countries, **Pakistan has been the fastest‑growing supplier, averaging +7.6% per year (2019–2024)**, outpacing other Asian peers in percentage terms from a lower base. ([cbi.eu](https://www.cbi.eu/market-information/apparel/what-demand?utm_source=openai)) – EU nearshoring is expected to grow, but from a small base: CBI projects **EU apparel/textile imports from nearshore origins (e.g., Turkey, North Africa) to rise ~3% between 2023–2030**, implying Asia—including Pakistan—remains dominant. ([cbi.eu](https://www.cbi.eu/market-information/apparel/what-demand?utm_source=openai)) • **US demand & sourcing share for Pakistan:** – Pakistan was the **7th‑largest apparel supplier to the US** in recent USFIA analysis; the top seven (China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Pakistan) together supplied **78% of US apparel imports** by value. ([usfashionindustry.com](https://www.usfashionindustry.com/resources/research-reports/usfia-sourcing-trends-outlook?utm_source=openai)) – In 2022, Pakistan exported **US$2.98 bn of apparel to the US**, vs China US$23.65 bn, Vietnam US$18.87 bn, Bangladesh US$9.83 bn, India US$6.0 bn—underscoring that Pakistan is significant but mid‑tier in US sourcing portfolios. ([pbc.org.pk](https://www.pbc.org.pk/research/the-us-market-for-imported-apparel-pakistan/?utm_source=openai)) – US buyer behavior in 2025–26 is heavily influenced by **Trump‑era tariff volatility** on Asian suppliers. Analysts note that tariffs are now treated as a **“strategic variable”** shaping supplier allocation, with some diversification within Asia rather than an outright shift to nearshore options. ([vogue.com](https://www.vogue.com/article/the-forces-that-will-shape-fashions-supply-chains-in-2026?utm_source=openai)) • **Nearshoring vs. continued Asian sourcing:** – QIMA’s **Q1‑2026 Supply Chain Barometer** finds: • Nearshoring/reshoring share in their customer base crept up only from **7.1% (2024) to 7.6% (2025)** of total sourcing—still small relative to Asia. ([qima.com](https://www.qima.com/newsroom/news/news-q1-2026-barometer?utm_source=openai)) • Turkey’s textile sector struggled with costs and labor, while **Egypt (+52%), Morocco (+38%), Tunisia (+18%) YoY** saw strong growth in inspection demand as EU buyers reallocated some orders within the region. ([qima.com](https://www.qima.com/newsroom/news/news-q1-2026-barometer?utm_source=openai)) • Nonetheless, many European brands **still rely on China** for textiles and apparel, with Q4 increases in inspections ordered from Italy, Spain, Austria, UK, Netherlands. ([qima.com](https://www.qima.com/newsroom/news/news-q1-2026-barometer?utm_source=openai)) – McKinsey’s earlier work (2024) similarly concluded that, while nearshoring is a priority, **actual production shifts have mostly been “China‑to‑other‑Asia” rather than “Asia‑to‑nearshore”**, keeping Pakistan structurally relevant as buyers rebalance China exposure. ([mckinsey.com](https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/week-in-charts/is-nearshoring-in-fashion?utm_source=openai)) • **Specific demand signals for Pakistan (product & compliance):** – EU market intelligence shows strong emphasis on: • **Speed, flexibility, and smaller MOQs**; • **ESG, traceability, and compliance** (chemical restrictions, due‑diligence, labor). Suppliers capable of meeting these criteria, including Pakistani mills with vertical setups and digital order management, are better placed to win shifts from China/India. ([cbi.eu](https://www.cbi.eu/market-information/apparel/what-demand?utm_source=openai)) – The Pakistan Business Council highlights that Pakistan’s apparel exports to the US are heavily cotton‑based; there is **under‑penetration in synthetic‑fiber categories**, where US imports reached **US$23.7 bn (HS‑61) and US$17.5 bn (HS‑62) for synthetic‑fiber apparel in 2022**. Growth opportunities lie in upgrading to man‑made fibers, performance wear, and higher value‑added categories. ([pbc.org.pk](https://www.pbc.org.pk/research/the-us-market-for-imported-apparel-pakistan/?utm_source=openai)) • **Tariff and regulatory environment shaping demand (2025–26):** – Recent US tariff measures have increased applied rates on a range of Asian apparel suppliers; discussion among sourcing professionals (trade associations, forums) highlights: • Elevated effective rates on key US suppliers (e.g., Vietnam ~46%, Cambodia ~49%, Bangladesh ~37%, Indonesia ~32%, India ~18% for some apparel lines as cited in practitioner commentary). • Pakistan is also impacted by Trump‑era tariffs, but the exact lines/rates vary by HS code; the uncertainty pushes brands to maintain a **multi‑country Asia portfolio** rather than sole‑sourcing from any one high‑tariff market. ([vogue.com](https://www.vogue.com/article/the-forces-that-will-shape-fashions-supply-chains-in-2026?utm_source=openai)) – In the EU, **CBAM‑style climate measures currently focus on selected sectors (steel, cement, etc.) rather than textiles**, but due‑diligence and sustainability regulations are tightening, indirectly favoring compliant, vertically integrated suppliers, including some in Pakistan. ([cbi.eu](https://www.cbi.eu/market-information/apparel/what-demand?utm_source=openai)) • **Net interpretation for 2026 demand:** – **Europe:** modest overall apparel import volume decline but Pakistan is a **fast‑growing supplier (+7.6% CAGR)**, helped by competitive yarn/fabric, vertical setups, and buyers looking beyond China. Nearshoring is real but incremental (3% projected import growth from nearshore by 2030). ([cbi.eu](https://www.cbi.eu/market-information/apparel/what-demand?utm_source=openai)) – **US:** Pakistan is entrenched as a **top‑7 apparel source**, but still a secondary origin versus China/Vietnam/Bangladesh. Growth will depend on Pakistan’s ability to move into synthetics, manage tariff exposure, and provide compliance + speed.
