Chattogram Bureau :
Matarbari Deep Sea port in Cox’s Bazar will be opened for ship movement in 2026. Mother vessels or large ships will have berth there. Then the goods will be shipped in feeder vessels or small vessels, containers will come to Chattogram, Mongla, Payra port.
Transit facilities will go to India’s’Landlock area or Seven Sisters and to Nepal, Bhutan for containers or imported goods. Kolkata and Haldia ports of India will get benefits from the fact that Matarbari port is located at a shorter distance than Singapore. Matarbari Port will be the new destination of the Maritime world due to its geographical location and foresight in exploiting the blue economy.
A noted Economist Moinul Islam Mahmud told the media in this regard that a ship with a draft of more than 14 meters will be able to take berth in the seaport. We had the opportunity to build a truly deep seaport at Sonadia. It was supposed to sign a MoU with China in 2014 to build it.
Although a little late, the work of the JICA-funded port construction project for loading mother vessels at Matarbari has officially started.
Consultant has been appointed. Initially, however, the port was planned to be loaded with raw materials from the coal power plant. Chairman of Chattogram Port Authority Rear Admiral SM Abul Kalam Azad told media that if Matarbari port is opened, feeder service will also be launched in Kolkata and Haldia ports.
