A foreign vessel with a depth of 10.2 metres arrived at the inner anchorage of Payra Port in Patuakhali on Thursday, the first anchoring of a larger water vessel at the country's third seaport.
For the first time since opening around a decade ago, Payra Sea Port has been able to accommodate a vessel having a draught of 10.2 metres owing to the dredging of a channel connecting it to the sea.
