Throughout this time, the Matarbari Coal Power Station’s jetty in Cox’s Bazar was the only jetty. To facilitate the construction of the deep sea port, another new jetty has already been built. From now on, two commercial ships will be able to releasing at the two jetties of Matarbari at the same time. This is a major milestone in the construction of Matarbari deep seaport.
On 29 December 2020, a commercial ship entered for the first time through a channel built for ships. The Matarbari channel was officially inaugurated through that entry. The initial jetty was originally used for releasing heavy lift or heavy cargo for the Matarbari Coal Power Plant. From then until June, over a period of six months, 17 commercial ships came to the Matarbari with construction materials for the power plant.
Before the construction of the country’s first deep seaport at Matarbari in Cox’s Bazar, a 250-metre-wide, 18-metre-deep and 14-kilometre-long channel was prepared.
