“It is my great honor to arrange the first capesize vessel of coal to Pakistan. At that time, I had to take the boat to the main vessel by using the towing pulley, which was really an adventure but I finished it independently. By now, China Power Hub Generation (CPHGC) is the only enterprise in Pakistan to import coal via capesize vessel,” Rizwana emphasized proudly, “as one of the Pakistan’s most successful power project with competitive promotion system and cultural harmony of Chinese and Pakistani employees, I feel like a duck to water here.”

Rizwana Ghani, a Senior Manager Fuel Procurement working at the 2×660 MW China Hub Coal Power Plant Project in Lasbela district, Balochistan. She has more than 14 years of industry experience with almost 6 years of experience with the current CPEC project. “In the beginning I was responsible for the insurance and compliance audit. The major achievement I made was the placement of project construction insurances to the top insurance companies of China, this was also the first experience in my career to interact with the developed insurance sector in China. Secondly, I successfully obtained the dispensation letter issued by the Ministry of Commerce, Government of Pakistan. It enabled our CPHGC project to place the insurances directly to international market throughout the 30 years life of the project,” the management talent noted.

As a working woman, Rizwana also mentioned the challenges she faced, “during my early working days there were some difficulties. Being Pakistani women, the work scope is limited. Usually, women are not inducted to most technical field. But eventually, I gained confidence and skills in technical field like supply chain. Undoubtedly, our project team gave me an equal chance to compete with others.”

After successfully spending her role as an insurance manager, CPHGC gave her a chance to expand her occupational area. Rizwana Ghani joined fuel management department as Manager Fuel Procurement in September 2018 and based on the outstanding performance, she was promoted to Senior Manager Fuel Procurement within just six months.

“Our team has procured more than millions of tons coal from South Africa through Pakistan International Bulk Terminal (PIBT) and Coal Transshipment System. Since CTS is the new concept of coal unloading and transportation, also it is the first and only coal offshore unloading facility in Pakistan, we need to face a series of technical restrictions, meanwhile, changeable weather also means challenges. With the support from our senior management, I have been smoothly managing the operations of coal unloading through CTS facility.” Besides, Rizwana has managed to get the coal unloading agreements signed with PIBT and road transportation agreement with the largest transportation company of Pakistan, National Logistics Cell.
