The Payra Port Authority (PPA) yesterday signed an agreement with a Belgium-based dredging company—Jan de Null—for the maintenance dredging of Rabnabad channel at Payra sea port.
The contract is being executed under the Emergency Maintenance Dredging Project at a cost of about Tk 437.30 crore.
The money will come from PPA funds, according to a press release signed by Jahangir Alam Khan, senior information officer at the shipping ministry.
The Rabnabad channel acts as a supply route for coal-based power plants and various other industries across Bangladesh. Therefore, the project's main objective is to maintain the waterway's 6.3-metre depth through dredging.
