The port facilities comprise a fishing boat pier and a coast guard base operated by the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency.

In the early days of the British rule, this port developed a lot, and the East India Company also used to send goods thence.

Mr. Hudson, the then Commissioner of the Province of Sindh, in his report of 1905 mentions Keti Bandar as a central and commercial town, in 1845 its population was recorded as 2542 and in 1932 it was given the status of a Municipal Committee.

Apart from that fish trade and port, the area also had fertile agricultural land that was irrigated by the Indus River every year, producing a variety of fruits including red rice, bananas, coconuts, melons and watermelons.

The city of Keti Bander has also weathered floods and storms, sinking three times due to hurricanes and sea advances in 1857, 1877 and 1910.

Archaeologist and researcher Dr Kaleemullah Lashari says that due to an earthquake during the time of the British, this port sank into the sand, after which the modern city of Keti Bandar, located two kilometers away, was built.
