The SH-15 is the export variant of the PCL-181 truck-mounted 155mm self-propelled howitzer. The SH-15 is based on a Shaanxi 6×6 truck chassis with an armored cabin.

The SH-15 Howitzer has a 155mm 52-caliber howitzer that can fire a wide range of shells.

Moreover, this howitzer is also equipped with a world-leading automatic fire control system (AFCS).

The SH-15 PC has a full combat weight of 25 tons. This weight lies within the cargo capability of any medium-weight transport aircraft. Thus, these howitzers can be easily airlifted using PAF’s Il-78 strategic air lifters.

Protection Of Own Fishermen



Over 20,000 small fishing boats of various types operate in Pakistan’s EEZ and along Sindh and Balouchistan Coast throughout the year. Besides the inherent dangers of rough weather and natural hazards of high seas, the fishermen were also harassed and captured by law enforcement agencies of neighbouring countries.

PMSA has been instrumental in providing protection to these fishermen and plays a vital role in providing assistance to fishermen in distress. It is also ensured that fishermen proceeding to sea are in possession of life saving equipment and each crew member is recorded to ensure their security.

Search and Rescue (SAR) Efforts



Pakistan Maritime Security Agency has been assigned additional task of manning Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) to readily respond to emergencies and coordinate SAR operations within a large Search and Rescue Region allocated to IMO.

The SAR responsibility of PMSA extends up to 840 NM from coastline.

PMSA undertakes SAR operations either completely itself or sometimes requests/ coordinates with other authorities or even MRCCs of other countries for prompt and effective SAR Operations. PMSA has so far rescued a large number of vessels in distress at high seas.

Cyclone Nilofar which originated in the Arabian Sea on 25 October 2014 was the fourth strongest tropical cyclone on record within the North Indian Ocean and the strongest storm to form over the Arabian Sea since cyclone Phet in 2010.

Although it did not ultimately hit the coastal areas of Pakistan but it remained present in the North Arabian Sea with high intensity. PMSA initiated a number of immediate measures to ensure safety of lives at sea as soon as threat of cyclone Nilofer developed.

All the fishermen were warned to avoid proceeding to sea and those already at sea were called back in coordination with various organisations. Similarly, the people from coastal areas were also evacuated. Due to these proactive, sincere and diligent efforts, PMSA is proud to state that not a single life was reported lost at sea during cyclone Nilofer..
