2.1 Bangladesh Port Assessment
As a country situated by the sea Bangladesh has a large coastline of 580 km spread across the southern part of the country where it is joined with the Bay of Bengal. The ports situated by the sea have given Bangladesh opening for business, economic growth and a connection with the rest of the world. Although still being a developing country, like most of the developed countries majority of the economy in Bangladesh depends on these seaports, as 90% of the export and import both are conducted through these ports. There are 3 seaports in Bangladesh at present. The largest one Chattogram and second largest Mongla are in full operation. The third in size and capacity Payra port is partially in use. A fourth one named Matarbari seaport is on its way to be opened and become fully functional very soon. It is that to keep a smooth flow of commercial transactions proper development, managing and directing these seaports with utmost efficiency is essential. For this reason, these seaports are directed under Ministry of Shipping in Bangladesh.

Port Picture
The Port of Chattogram is the principal port of Bangladesh. The port was established at its present location in 1887. By 1910, four jetties were constructed to handle 0.5 million MT of cargo annually. Since then the port has grown gradually to the present shape.
It is situated on the right bank of the river Karnafuli at a distance of about 9 nautical miles from the shoreline of the Bay of Bengal. Chattogram Port is considered the heart of the economy of Bangladesh. The geographic location of this port creates the opportunity for easy and cost-effective foreign trade to be carried out through with all South Asian countries as well as other Asian countries. Enough and low-cost labour is also readily available here. For these reasons, Chattogram Port holds much potential as a highly promising regional seaport. Consequently, cargo handling through Chattogram Port has not only rapidly increased but cargo type has also diversified. The Port is a regular member of Japan based International Ports and Harbours (IAPH).As a gateway of Bangladesh, Chattogram Port not only handles 92% of the country’s international trade but also generates about 35% annual revenue of the country on account of import tax, duties and VAT which confirms the significance of the port in the Government’s finance. About 80% export-import industries and 5-Export Processing Zone (out of 10 EPZ) are situated within Dhaka and Chattogram division and Dhaka- Chattogram corridor (transportation by rail, road & river) due to the Chattogram Port. This also helps to generate about 30% of the GDP. 100% imported Petroleum Oil and Lubricant (POL) of the country is transported through this port. Not only that, through this port 100% finished product are exported and 80% raw materials & accessories are imported. For Ready Made Garments (RMG) sector, which fetches about 76% of the country’s export earnings as hard currency.

It is situated on the right bank of the river Karnafuli at a distance of about 9 nautical miles from the shoreline of the Bay of Bengal. River Karnafuli rising in the Lushai Hill falls in the Bay of Bengal after taking a winding course of 120 nautical miles through the districts of Chattogram Hill Tracts and Chattogram. Upper limits of the river water are formed by two straight lines, one drawn across the Karnafuli River in the North by joining 2 pillars located at Lat: 22024’33″N-Long: 91054’30E and Lat: 22024’56″N- Long: 91054’11″E and the other by joining the 2 pillars located at Lat: 22025’07″N- Long: 91053’18″E and Lat: 22025’07″N- Long: 91053’10″E. These limits include so much of the sea and of the River Karnafuli and the River Halda and the area that lie within 137.162 Metre, of high water mark at ordinary spring tide and the docks, wharves, quays, stages, jetties, piers, warehouse, sheds, railway line and yards within the limits of the bounded area and such other area outside it as included in the Schedule iii of the Chattogram Port Act. The seaward approach to the Port of Chattogram may considered to be northwards of the 10-fathom contour in latitude 22024′ North and longitude 9103″ East: The distance to the pilot ground from the south patches shoal being 46 nautical miles on the direct course.
Port Performance
Chattogram Port is the core hub of export and import of the country. The port has been performing better and better each year despite lots of limitations. It is now competing with the world rated ports in terms of all matrix. This port is now ranked at 64 in the Lloyd’s list of 100 container ports in the world, which was 70th, 71st, 76th and 87th in last 4 years.

The weather in Bangladesh is largely governed by the monsoon. The prevailing wind directions are from South to South East during the months of April through September. After taking easterly direction for a while the wind turns to the northerly and north-easterly directions, the later prevail from November to January. During the months of February and March, winds turn via westerly direction back to the Southerly to South Easterly. In excess of 20 Knots/ Beaufort wind scale 5 prevails for 6 percent to time while those in excess of 30 Knots/Beaufort wind scale 7 persists for about 0.1 percent of the time during cyclones i.e. During the transition between monsoon and dry seasons in May, October, and November. The area of Payra port experienced four severe Cyclonic water surges during the last 44 years. In 1960 & 1963 speeds recorded were 125 Knots Max. In 1970 and 1991 speeds were recorded 138 Knots max. and 180 Knots max. respectively. |

Customs
Customs clearance process is also mainly paper based and appraisal and verification are done without standardized modern logistics support (container scanner). Procedural complexities, lack of transparency and timeliness in decision-making often caused lot of harassment and delay in the customs clearance process.
Since 2000, ASYCUDA has been introduced without the two main modules EDI and Risk Assessment Management. The customs clearance procedures for import still consist of 13 to 16 steps, a cumbersome, redundant, paper ledger and list-oriented process. In the absence of modern technology in controlling & appraising method, problems of trust arise among the regulatory and trade body.
Food Handling Arrangements
For offloading from ships and safe storage of food grains CPA has dedicated a silo jetty at North Patenga. There is a silo situated adjacent to the jetty. It is one of the biggest silos in Bangladesh with storage capacity of 100,000 mt. It deals with wheat only and is under the administrative control of the Ministry of Food of the Government of Bangladesh. The strategy for Chattogram silo is to use it predominantly for quick clearance of incoming mother vessels carrying imported wheat, for storage of a national buffer stock, to maintain quality of stored grain and quick dispatching to up-country destinations with maximum efficiency.
From an operational point of view, Chattogram silo can be divided into three sub-systems:
- Receiving
- Storage
- Despatching
Receiving Sub-system
This silo has the facilities to receive food grain (particularly wheat) only in bulk through gantry. The objective of the system is as follows:
- To start unloading as quickly as possible.
- To unload grain from carrier within minimum possible time.
- To record the weight of all incoming grain accurately.
- To ensure safe storage.
Storage Sub-system
The Chattogram silo having a capacity of 103,804 MT of bulk wheat, it has 88 round bins and 54-star bins. The capacity of each round bin is 1,000 MT and the star bin is 225 MT. The silo is provided with a dust control machine. Existing fumigation on pest control systems is provided via a liquid spray system and peeled dispenser system, though it is rarely used due to non-infestation of the grain. The objective of this sub-system is to keep the grain in good quality.
Despatching Sub-system
This silo has the facilities to dispatch food grain both in bulk and bagged form. In bulk it is mainly delivered by river coaster in Narayangonj Silo and Khulna Steel Silo and through hopper wagon in Ashugonj, Santaher and Narayangonj Silo. The bagged cargo is delivered mainly through railway covered wagon and through truck in almost all CSD and LSD in the country.

Pilotage to the Port
The Pilotage ground extends from the fairway buoy, approximately at position Lat. 21026.9'N Long. 89034.4'E, to the northern limit of the port (Up to a line drawn between Lat. 22038.00' N Long. 89020.00' E and Lat. 22038.00' N Long. 89040.00' E).
The sharply defined "Swatch of No Ground" - the northern tip of which almost touching the pilotage ground, a nature’s boon to the mariners is approaching this port. A fairly accurate position of vessels can be obtained by watching the Echo-Sounder indicating entry of vessel into the "Swatch of No ground". It is usual for the navigators making approaches from Kolkata and Chattogram to proceed between 20- and 30-meter contour which is quite well defined and converge on the northern most tip of the “Swatch of No Ground ".
The lighted Buoy painted “MONGLA FAIRWAY" and fitted with a radar reflector flashing white light every 10 seconds, makes the approach to the Pilotage ground reasonably easy and safe.
From the ' fairway buoy' to pilotage ground (Near Hiron Point) the channel is marked by 9 pairs of lighted buoys with radar reflectors. Masters of vessels before approaching the pilotage ground should await instructions from the Hiron point pilot stations. Mariners are cautioned that they may have to take appropriate corrective measures as the vessels are likely to set towards North-West during flood tide.
Ship approaching Mongla Port will send their ETA and draft to their respective agents and to PORT KHULNA vis Khulna Radio (Call sign S3E) at least 24 hrs. before their actual time of arrival at the Fairway Buoy. On receipt of the ETA directly from the ship the pilot is detailed in order of priority of arrivals. Further instructions are issued by the pilot himself on VHF. On or before arrival at the Fairway Buoy, the Master is to contact the Hiron Point Pilot Station on W/T (Call sign S3K) or on channel 16 on VHF for bar crossing instructions. It must be emphasized that the instructions so received should be repeated by the ship receiving such messages. The banks of the river are stable and have continuous belt of forest with small creeks at places throughout the passage up to the Mongla Harbor area. The controlling bar at the entrance of Pussur River has a minimum datum depth of 6.0 M. This sets limit to the draft of ships entering and leaving Mongla Port.
Tides and semi diurnal with spring rise between max. 2.80 M. in winter to max. 3.35 M. in Monsoon. Tidal stations at Hiron Point, Joymonirgol and Mongla are maintained for observation and record of daily tides. Unlike other riverine ports of the Bay of Bengal there are no incidents of bore tides or freshets. During Monsoon the Hinterland Rivers are in spate and current may attain strength up to 6 knots. The bottom is mainly of mud and fine sand.
The channel is marked by buoys at various points conical shapes to be passed on the starboard hand and can shapes on the port hand when entering with the mainstream of flood. Weather is mainly tropical with very mild winter with minimum temperature of 8'C and humidity 95% and during south westerly monsoon from June to August causing rainfall of average 200 cm. Tropical revolving storm is formed in the Bay of Bengal during the preceding (April-May) and succeeding (Sept-Oct.) two months of Monsoon. The intensity of the storm is lost on reaching the port after crossing the coast and the Sundarbans. A common weather feature is the Norwester in the months of March and April which are typical thunderstorms of very short duration usually occurring at dusk with squally winds up to 40kts.

Food Handling Arrangements
Mongla Port is not very well equipped for the bulk grain handling. There are no vacuators, silo facilities and bagging machines at the port. No silo terminal at port level. But a small silo of 500 MT exists in Khulna and recently big modern silo is at Joymonir goal has been established.
Mongla Port Silo
In order to have Safe Storage Facilities of Food grains a modern Silo has been built at Joymonirgol, 17 km south of Mongla Port. The silo has a storage capacity of 50,000 MT in 30 different bins. The area is fully equipped with an Independent Jetty along with all types of handling facilities. So Mongla port is now fully ready to accept any quantity of imported food grains.
Reefer Cargo Arrangements
Reefer cargo particularly export of frozen shrimps is predominant through this port. In the container yard no. 1 & 2 there are 160 plug points to connect reefer containers. Electricity is being supplied from electric substations to the reefer container. For constant and uninterrupted power supply MPA has its own generators which are capable to supply power to 40 containers. Provision of 110 volt power supply for reefer container is also available in the container yard.
Port Development Trend
In Bangladesh, the industries are in and around Dhaka-Chattogram. The business community of Dhaka and its surrounding areas is less interested to import and export their cargo through Mongla Port because of lack of fair roads and bridges connection. The present government has given emphasis for the development of Mongla Port and pushes the construction of the Padma Bridge at Mawa point. When Padma bridge will be operational, the distance from Dhaka to Mongla will be 170 Km. So, the business community of Dhaka and its surrounding areas will be more interested to use Mongla Port for importing & exporting cargos as the transportation distance from Dhaka to Mongla will be shorter than Dhaka to Chattogram.
At present, Jute & jute goods, frozen cargo and other general cargo are exported from Mongla port. Moreover, import of heavy machinery & equipment, fertilizer, food grain, sugar, motor vehicles, raw materials of industry etc. through Mongla Port will increase. As a matter of consequence, the act of establishing different types of new industries in the south-western part of the country, scope of huge employment, expansion of trade & business and overall activities of Mongla Port will increase and develop rapidly.

2.1.3 Bangladesh Port of Payra
Port Overview
Payra Sea Port is the 3rd seaport of Bangladesh located in general area in between latitude 21.9890 North and longitude 90.2792 East on the bank of Rabnabad Channel under Kalapara, a sub district of Patuakali. In order to increase the economic activities in the central zone and meet the future demand, Payra Sea Port Act 2013 was passed in National Parliament on 10 November 2013. Honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated country’s 3rd seaport named as “Payra Sea Port” at Rabnabad Channel at Patuakhali district on 19 November 2013.
Government has taken Short, Mid & Long-Term Plan to develop a state of art modern seaport. As Short-Term Plan, Payra Port Authority is set operate the port activities by offloading cargos from motherships at outer/inner anchorage and transported to the hinterlands through river routes. All the necessary preparations like Custom Clearance Facilities, VHF communication, Banking, enlistment of Ship handling operators, C&F, Shipping agent, Channel Marking with Laying of Buoys at River and approach channel, Marking of Payra inner and outer Anchorage area, Implementation of ISPS code, UN Locator Code, and port security including a Bangladesh Coastguard station with high speed vessel and manpower etc have been completed.
Under Long Term Plan, by 2023 the port would be fully operational with a 16 m channel where minimum 10 km container & other terminals with all other associated facilities like establishing EEZ, Airport, Port city, Dockyard/Shipyard, Echo Tourism etc centring to the port. The Port authority has taken a mega budget estimate under the Long-term plan by phases to complete the envisioned infrastructural facilities and make the port fully operational by 2015.
Presently the port users are using River Route connecting to Dhaka and other districts of the country. In the river route, vessels more than 4-meter draught with bulk cargo are plying day and night irrespective of tide. Various commodities including food grain, cement, fertilizer and other bulk are transported from Payra to Dhaka and other destinations through internal waterways.
PPA’S objective focuses mainly on providing necessary services and facilities to the port users efficiently and effectively at competitive price. Though PPA started its Ltd scale port operations by offloading bulk cargoes at inner/outer anchorage, with the passage of time PPA is going to handle maximum volume of container and bulk cargoes of Bangladesh using the geographical advantages, good hinterland connectivity

Port General Information
|
Port various Data
Hydrographic Data |
|
---|---|
Salinity |
Salinity at Rabnabad Channel varies from 0.1 gms/1000c.c at low water to 0.2gms/ 1000c.c at high water during monsoons and from 2.5gms/1000c.c at low water to 16.5gms/1000c.c at high water during dry season. Salinity at Kajal river varies from 0.15gms/1000c.c at low water to 3.3gms/1000c.c at high water during monsoon and from 10gms/1000cc at low water to 27 gms/1000cc at high water during dry season. |
Width of Channel |
The width of the navigational channel (5.0m. contour) varies from place to place. From fairway to the mouth of Rabnabad Channel there is no restriction of Navigational width. A minimum of 250 m Channel width is maintained in Kajal- Tetulia route. |
Wind Velocity |
The weather in Bangladesh is largely governed by the monsoon. The prevailing wind directions are from South to South East during the months of April through September. After taking easterly direction for a while the wind turns to the northerly and north-easterly directions, the later prevail from November to January. During the months of February and March, winds turn via westerly direction back to the Southerly to South Easterly. In excess of 20 Knots/ Beaufort wind scale 5 prevails for 6 percent to time while those in excess of 30 Knots/Beaufort wind scale 7 persists for about 0.1 percent of the time during cyclones i.e. During the transition between monsoon and dry seasons in May, October, and November. The area of Payra port experienced four severe Cyclonic water surges during the last 44 years. In 1960 & 1963 speeds recorded were 125 Knots Max. In 1970 and 1991 speeds were recorded 138 Knots max. and 180 Knots max. respectively. |
Tidal Ranges |
The tides are important for navigations as determining the possibility of crossing the shallow area between Payra Fairway and the Meghna entrance at Hizla point and the Bars within Port Limit. The tides are semi-diurnal with prominent diurnal effect. The approx. Tidal Ranges at Rabnabad Channel and Amirganj (Meghna juncture) from Chart Datum (ISLWL – Indian Spring Low Water Level which is 1.673m below mean sea level) are as follows: At Rabnabad Channel: 0.8m.-3.5m. (above ISLWL) At Amirganj (Meghna juncture): 0.7m-2.8m. (above ISLWL). |
Night Navigation |
The entire channel is demarcated by let- buoys. There is no limitation for night navigation for entering/leaving harbour. |
Waves |
The waves are generally low shown distinct relation with the wind. Maximum wave heights over 2m were recorded only on a few days during the small parts of days. The wave periods vary between 3-4 seconds of waves of about 0.5m and about six seconds for waves of 2m. These are from an observation made by NEI (Netherlands Economic Institute) 1972–1977. During the months May to October freshets are expected, Freshets are caused by the normal velocity of flow of ebb tide augmented by the flow of an additional volume of water that drains into the river from the catchment area. Freshets are expected when rainfall intensity reaches 200mm in 24 hours. The density of water varies at each turn of the tide. Masters are advised to obtain the Circular from the local agents and follow the instructions closely. |

2.1.4 Bangladesh Port of Matarbari
Port Overview
Matarbari Port is a proposed deep seaport in Matarbari, Cox's Bazar District, Chattogram Division, Bangladesh. The port will be full commercial opening by expanding Coal jetty for berthing of vessels for the Maheshkhali power plant in Cox's Bazar district. At least 16.3-meter-deep ships can be easily accessible Matarbari Port. With the depth of the proposed Matarbari port being 16.3 meters, every ship will be able to bring more than 8000 containers. Currently, vessels with less than a 9-meter draft can call at the country’s two seaports at Chattogram and Mongla.
JICA will build a 15-kilometer long channel for construction of Matarbari port. Main navigational channel will be 350 meters wide. The 100-meter-long jetty will be constructed under the port's financing. The deep seaport’s multi-purpose terminal will be ready for container shipping vessels by November 2022, and a coal terminal will be constructed by August 2022
In the first phase of construction, the container terminal will be built on 18 hectares, have a 460-meter berth, be able to accommodate 8,000 TEU vessels, and have an annual capacity of 600,000 to 1.1 million TEU. Later, the container terminal will be expanded, comprise 70 hectares, have an 1,850-meter berth, and have a 2.8-million-MT capacity. The multi-purpose terminal will be built on 17 hectares, have a 300-meter berth, and be able to accommodate vessels with up to 70,000 dwt. Its annual capacity will be 2.25 million tonnes

Envision of the port
In the first phase of stage one, according to JICA's presentation, the port will have annual handling capacity of 0.8 million TEUs of containers and 2.5 million tonnes of bulk cargos. The port will be connected to the national highway and also have access to Chattogram and Cox's Bazar.
In the second phase of stage one, the port will have three jetties ready for container handling and four to six jetties for multipurpose use by 2028. Meanwhile, its container handling capacity will grow to 2.8 million TEUs and cargo handling capacity will reach 2.5 million tonnes per year.
After the completion of the final stage by 2035, the port will have the capacity to handle 4.8 million TEUs of containers and 16 to 38 million tonnes of bulk cargos. By 2024, the port will have rail connectivity through Dohazari-Cox's Bazaar line. An inland container depot will also be built by then.
By 2035, the container terminal's berth will reach 1,850-metre on 70 hectares area. Japan has agreed to invest US$20 billion for Moheshkhali-Matarbari initiative, of which half will come from its low-cost ODA (official development assistance). The rest will come as private sector investment.
