Construction of the first deep seaport of the country has started in Matarbari, and it will become operational in 2025. Already ships have started to arrive at the jetty built for the coal power plant beside the seaport. The ship ‘Venus Triumph’ carrying building materials, docked at this jetty for the first time on 29 December. Then on 8 January, the second cargo ship SPM Bangkok docked at the jetty. The ship is embarking on a new route for shipping goods by sea in the country.
The ship is carrying goods from Malaysia’s ‘Port Kelang’ to the Matarbari Coal Power Plant jetty in Maheshkhali. Half of the goods wes uloaded there and on 13 January it docked at the Chattogram port’s jetty with the remaining goods. The SPM Bangkok ship is not a regular cargo service on this route, rather the ship only carries building materials for coal-fired power plants. Meanwhile, the ship has set a record for being the first ship to transport goods on the Kelang-Matarbari-Chattogram port route. At the same time, it opened new doors for the transportation of goods on this route.
