Chittagong Port, the country’s principal gateway handling about 92% of Bangladesh’s trade, is mired in disruption. About 1,000 TEUs of export containers remain stuck inside the port. Several feeder vessels have departed without scheduled export containers, disrupting shipments to Europe and the United States. Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association Acting President Selim Rahman said any disruption at Chittagong Port directly undermines supply chains and export flows. The Chittagong Port Protection Council views it as a setback to reconciliation and has announced an indefinite strike from 8:00am Sunday, extending to outer anchorage operations.
