Ship collisions recurring at outer anchorage
Incidents of ships colliding and running aground at the Chattogram port s outer anchorage are alarmingly recurring, which officials and customers apprehend could tarnish the image of Bangladesh s premier harbour in global shipping business.
The collisions are occurring between ships arriving from the deep sea-Kutubdia direction and making a stopover at the outer anchorage to partially unload import cargo onto comparatively smaller lighter vessels, before going on to enter the port jetties.
Though the ships can offload all their import cargo anchoring in the deep sea around Kutubdia, their tendency is to come over to the outer anchorage near the Patenga coast in an attempt to reduce expenses.
