Chittagong Port aims to be regional shipping hub by 2030

The government has undertaken extensive reform and development activities to transform Chittagong Port, the main gateway of the country's maritime trade, into a competitive regional shipping hub by 2030. As part of this, initiatives have been taken to modernise port infrastructure, increase operational efficiency, and expand international partnerships.

Plans are underway to overcome long-standing operational limitations and reduce vessel turnaround time and container dwell time. Additionally, the construction of the Matarbari deep-sea port and Japan's investment interest have created new potentials in the country's maritime transport sector, according to concerned officials.
