A new service jetty has been constructed next to jetty no. 1 of Chittagong port. This jetty will be able to accommodate Chittagong port’s own tug boats, pilot boats, survey ships, water supply ships, and other service-providing ships.
This jetty has been constructed with the own funds of Chittagong port. The jetty is 220 metres long and 20 metres wide. The draft is 5 and a half metres. In addition to the jetty, the project also includes a 2,650 sq. ft. three-story office building, a 3,000 sq. ft. steel structure warehouse, a 2,100 cubic metre water reservoir, a 222 metre long 8 ft. high retaining wall, riverbank and shore protection, drainage system, 500 KV’s electrical substation, and a 100 ft. high signal tower.
In addition to the use of service jetties for anchoring and maintenance of the port’s own ships, the facility of unloading goods in case of emergency is also available at this jetty.
