Despite ongoing global tensions triggered by the Iran-Israel war, operations at Chattogram Port remain steady, with a total of 25 fuel-carrying vessels completing discharge so far this month.
According to the Chittagong Port Authority, two more vessels — Bwek Bornholm and Morning Jane — are currently on passage to Bangladesh and are expected to arrive at the port on 25 March.
Syed Refayet Hamim, secretary and spokesperson of the port authority, confirmed that fuel handling activities are progressing as planned.
At present, one vessel, “LPG Sevan”, is actively engaged in discharging liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) imported from Oman.
The discharged vessels this month transported a wide range of fuel and energy products from multiple international ports, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Malaysia, Oman, and India.
These cargoes included LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), Gas Oil (Diesel), HSFO (High Sulfur Fuel Oil), Base Oil, MEG (Mono-Ethylene Glycol), and crude oil.
Meanwhile, another vessel, “AB Olivia”, which arrived from Thailand carrying base oil, is currently anchored at the outer anchorage at Bravo Point. However, unloading operations for this vessel have yet to begin.
Port officials said that all necessary measures are being taken to ensure uninterrupted fuel supply and efficient handling of incoming vessels.
