CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
Executive Summary
The Chittagong Port Basically is an industrial enterprise. Here, a bewildering variety of
different activities seem to be taken place at the same time. Large machines travel in
different directions. Heavy equipments, like lifting containers, moving cargoes, vessels etc
arrive and depart. The main purpose of all these activities is to transfer goods or containers
as quickly and efficiently as possible between inland and maritime transport.
The Chittagong Port plays a vital role in the international transport of goods and
containers. It is an essential link in the maritime transport chain. The efficiency with
which the authority carries out its functions has very significant impact on the speed,
smoothness and cost of the transportation of cargo from exporter to importer.
Everyone employed in the process has a definite part to play in making the work of
the port as efficient as possible.
Now-a-days, the quantum of cargo and container is increasing rapidly in this port.
Chittagong Port has handled 0.74 million TEUS containers and more than 24 million
tons of cargo through 1916 ships during the year 2004-2005. This is the highest
record in the Chittagong Port.
In view of the continued growth of container and cargo handling at Chittagong Port,
the authority has taken five development projects. The most important project is the
construction of a container terminal at New mooring area which is considered as a
national priority project having one thousand meter long container berth, where five
vessels could be accommodated at a time. It can handle 0.5 million TEUS container
annually with a backyard facility of 2,20,30 square meters. The terminal will be
equipped with modern container handling facilities. The project is in progress and
expected to be completed in the beginning of 2007. There are many other
development plans which are described in Part 9 of this report in detail.
The entire port operational activities are being modernized with computerization
system which will interface customs activities thus providing users with faster,
efficient and accurate services that for better business transaction. In addition,
modern equipments for handling containers and cargo are being procured in order to
boost up fast, speedy, efficient and cost effective handling.
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
Though Chittagong Port is contributing massively to our economy, some experts have
identified a number of problems hindering development of the port city. These are as
follows –
1. Poor physical infrastructure,
2. Lack of administrative initiative and cooperation,
3. Sluggish implementation of projects,
4. Unstable political environment,
5. Lack of foresight of the successive governments,
6. Absence of a business and investment-friendly policy,
7. Corruption,
8. Piracy,
9. Blockade by the opposition.
The efficiency of Chittagong Port largely depends on the overall economic and
infrastructure development, back-up transport facilities, efficiency and ability level of
relevant private and public organization, labor productivity and socio-economic
condition of the country as a whole. If adequately developed, this port could be
turned into a regional hub of container and cargo transshipment.

1.4 Methodology of the study
(Sources of Primary & Secondary Data)
In order to complete the term paper we have to visit the selected enterprise that is
The Chittagong Port Authority. Actually we have conducted a survey to applying
questionnaire method. Data pertaining to the study are collected mostly through
personal interview with the staff of the institution. Different statements of the
institution of the published materials are also used as data. These data have been
analyzed to achieve the objective of the research. Besides these, we ourselves asked
other related questions to the officers and executives and they replied the answer of
that questions very curtly.
We collected data from primary source and secondary sources:
(a) Primary data collected through –
1. Training program held by The Chittagong Port Authority Training Institute.
2. Questionnaire.
3. Observation.
4. Conduction of Interview.

1.5 Limitation of the study
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
(The report is near to be perfect)
Although we tried my best to materialize the report resourcefully, this study is not
free from the limitations. Actually, this study doesn‟t show the total activities of the
Chittagong port since few sections were ignored due to time constraint. We only
visited the Chittagong Port Training Institute and Chittagong Port Main Office.
The major limitations the study faced during the study period spotlighted below:
The information about accounting and finance department was not quite
sufficient to observe or gather their activities well.
The data required for sufficient analysis for writing could not been collected
due to executives‟ work load.
The officials have sometimes been unable to provide information because of
their huge routine work.
Some data could not been collected for confidentiality or secrecy of the
management.
The time stipulated for the term paper for understanding the total activities of
the Chittagong Port is not adequate.
We have been late to submit the report for the instable situation of the
country.
Our personal limitation also contributed greatly in making the study less
perfect than expectation.
2.1 Chittagong
(Through the Ages)
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
The political status of Chittagong during the early days is rather sketchy. However,
from the available records, it appears that in 151 A. D. the war Lord of Magadha
named Chandra Surya occupied Chittagong and Arakan and established his Kingdom
in the region and the same dynasty ruled up to 5th century A. D. In the 6th Century A.
D. Chittagong was annexed by the king of Samatata and ruled by the Khargaraj
dynasty for about 100 years. In the 8th century Dharmapal ruled Chittagong for a
short period. In the 10th century A. D. Chittagong was annexed by Arakan kingdom.
In the last part of 10th centaury, Chang Thump the king of Tripura conquered
Chittagong. In the 11-12th century Chittagong was a part of Paga kingdom. King
Damadar Dev ruled Chittagong during the 1st part of 13th century. From the writings
of European traveler Marco Polo, it appears that in 1273 Chittagong was conquered
by the Tatar Khans. In the beginning of 14 th century A. D. Chittagong was again
annexed by Arakan kingdom. In 1340 Fakharuddin Mubarak Shah, the ruler of
Sonargaon conquered Chittagong.
From that time up to the emergence of the Pathan rule in the 16 th century but with
certain brief intervals, Chittagong was ruled by the sultans of Gour. During the year
1538-39 Sher Shah‟s General Noazish occupied Chittagong and till 1580 it was ruled
by the Afgans. Though the Afghans left Bengal in 1575, Jamal Khan panni ruled
Chittagong up to 1580. In 1580 she was re-captured by the Arakans and remained
under the occupation till 1665, when Moghul General Shaestha Khan expelled
Arakanese from Chittagong and the area from the south of the Feni River to the
south of Shankha River was under the occupation of Moghuls. In 1756 Moghul
General Adhu Khan of Dohazari Fort occupied the southern part of the river Shankha
upto the north of Naf River from the Arakans.
In 1760 the Nawab of Bengal Mir Kashem gave away the ruler ship of this region to
the East India Company through a mandate. From that time Chittagong was a part of
India under the British rule till the partition of India. In 1971, the then East Pakistan
emerged as an independent country known as Bangladesh and Chittagong became
the major port of the country.

2.2 Port of Chittagong
(Brief History & Background)
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
SHETGANG
The history of Chittagong port dates back to the fourth century B.C. Although the
political status of Chittagong and its region in pre-historic time is rather sketchy, the
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
periplus of the Eritrean Sea documents a vivid picture of the Port of Chittagong. The
Yemeni and the Arab traders of Babylon of ancient time used to trade with Greece,
Macedonia and in the East with India, Java, Sumatra and China. For the purpose of
trade they used to call at the Indian ports of Surat, Cochin, Tamralipta and
Chittagong. According to Ptolemy, the famous historian, Chittagong was one of the
finest port in the near and far east at that time. Malayan history bears that the
greatest sailor Buddha Gupta sailed from Chittagong to Malya in the 4 th century B. C.
Chittagong derives its name from the Arabic word “Shetgang” (shet-Delta, Gang-the
river). The Arab traders considered Chittagong to be the delta of the Ganges.
According to the works of Fa-hien, Hieu-en tsng, lbn Battuta, the port of Chittagong
mingled with the ancient civilization of the world. Chinese, Turkish and traders from
the Middle East and Europe used to trade with this part of the world through the port
of Chittagong. Due to the southern part of Chittagong having emerged gradually
from the Bay of Bengal, the actual site of the Port changed from time to time.
SAMUNDA
During the 9th century the Muslim traders from Arabia and Yemen started using the
port of Chittagong as their base port and its control remained in their hands for quite
sometime. During the period the activities of the Port increased tremendously and
name and fame of the port reached far and wide. The Port was developed so much
by the Arabians that within a period of 100 years she surpassed the great Port of
Tamluk. The Arabs called the Port “Samunda”.
“PORTE GRANDE”
In the year 1517 Joaoda Silveria, the first Portuguese Captain reached the Port with
his ship “LOPO SOANA” and the year 1526 marked the anchoring of vessels by
Captain Caaz Penira at Chittagong. The third Portuguese Capitan Alfonso de Mellow
landed at the Port near Chakaria in 1528. The Portuguese commanders who came to
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
Chittagong name the Port as the PORTE GRANDE (a great Port) and the records show
the Porte Grande offered easy access and safe anchorage to ships of 20 feet draught.
BRITISH PERIOD
With the advancement of the British during the 17 th and 18th centuries the
Portuguese slowly gave way to them. The growing importance of Chittagong as a
natural outlet for the Northeastern regions of the then British-India ultimately led to
the enactment of Port Commissioner‟s Act of 1887 which was introduced on 25th
April 1888 and the commissioners for the Port of Chittagong started functioning. Four
jetties were built between the period 1899 and 1910 by the Assam Bengal Railway
and the Port was administered jointly by the Port Commissioners and Port Railway.
PARTITION OF INDIA
With the partition of India in 1947, the Port of Chittagong was suddenly subjected to
heavy pressure of more commercial activities, being the only Port of the eastern zone
of the then Pakistan. The railway and the Port immediately undertook a short and
long term plan and during the fifties, nine jetties including seven new and a number
of pontoon berths and moorings were constructed.
PORT TRUST
Such rapid development necessitated the reorganization of the Port Management and
as a result Chittagong Port Trust was formed in July, 1960, to do away with the dual
administration of the Port by the Port Commissioners and the Port Railway.
PORT AUTHORITY
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
Under the “Trust” system administration and quick development of the Port where
not found to be picking up to meet the challenge of modernization and expansion. It
was felt that more autonomy be given to the management for better administration
and rapid development of the Port, hence by an Ordinance in September 1976, the
Chittagong Port Authority came in to being.
PROSPECT
Port is a place where international shipping either originates, terminates or transits
and thereby of necessity making it highly dynamic subject to keep pace with
increasing commercial and economic activities. In spite of constraints in men and
material and financial limitations the Port Authority has concentrated all its attention
to the development of the Port and better management so as make it the nerve
centre of the economic progress.

2.3 Hydrographical Information
(Salinity, Width, Waves, Wind Velocity & Tidal Ranges)
Hydrographical Data
There are three Bars, one at the mouth of the Karnafuli River called the OUTER BAR
and the second is the INNER BAR at 1.22 Nautical miles from the Outer Bar and the
third is the GUPTA BAR at 4.63 nautical miles from the Outer Bar. The Approximate
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
least depths at the Outer Bar, Inner Bar & Gupta Bar are 6.2m, 7.3m and 6.0m
respectively from the Chart Datum (CD) i.e., from Indian Spring Low Water Level
(ISLWL).
Depth at Jetty Berth ranges from 8m to 9.1m and at Moorings from 8.8m to 10.5m
and above
MAX. VELOCITY OF CURRENT OPPOSITE KHAL NO: 10 IS AS UNDER
Spring tides (S.W.Monsoon) 4.5 to 5.5 Knots.
Neap tides (S.W.Monsoon) 2.5 to 3.5 Knots.
Spring tide (Winter months) upto 3 Knots.
Neap tide (Winter Months) upto 2 Knots
Freshet Ebbs upto 8 Knots.
Salinity
Salinity at Sadarghat varies from 0.1 gms/ 1000c.c at low water to 0.2gms/ 1000c.c
at high water during monsoons and from 2.5gms/1000c.c at low water to
16.5gms/1000c.c at high water during dry season.
Salinity at Patenga varies from 0.15gms/1000c.c at low water to 3.3gms/1000c.c at
high water during monsoon and from 10gm/1000cc at low water to 27 gms/1000c.c
at high water during dry season.
Width
The width of the navigational channel (5.49m. contour) varies from place. A
minimum of 250m. channel width is maintained.
Waves
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
The waves are generally low shown distinct relation with the wind. Maximum wave
heights over 2m were recorded only on a few days during the small parts of days.
The wave periods vary between 3-4 seconds of waves of about 0.5m and about six
seconds for waves of 2m. These are from an observation made by NEI (Netherlands
Economic Institute) 1972--1977.
During the months May to October freshets are expected, Freshets are caused by the
normal velocity of flow of edd tide augmented by flow of additional volume of water
that drains into the river from the catchment area. Freshets are expected when
rainfall intensity reaches 200mm in 24 hours.
Density of water varies at each turn of the tide. Masters are advised to obtain the
Circular from the local agents and follow the instructions closely.
N.B. Karnafuli being a tidal river, it is essential for a vessel entering the Port to have
six ropes aft for Mooning purposes. For maneuvering in the Karnafuli River the length
(L.O.A) carry dry cargo and tankers with Oil is retricted to 186 metre (610 ft.).
Wind Velocity
The weather in Bangladesh is largely governed by the monsoon. The prevailing wind
directions are from South to South East during the months of April through
September. After taking easterly direction for a while the wind turns to the northerly
and north easterly directions, the later prevail from November to January. During the
months of February and March winds turn via westerly direction back to the
Southerly to south Easterly. Wind in excess of 20 Knots/5 B.F. prevails for 6 percent
to time while those in access of 30 Knots/7 BF persists for about 0.1 percent of time
during cyclones i.e. During the transition between monsoon and dray seasons in May,
October and November.
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
The port of Chittagong experienced four severe Cyclonic water surges during the last
44 years. In 1960 & 1963 speeds recorded were 125 Knots Max. In 1970 and 1991
speeds were recorded 138 Knots max. and 180 Knots max. respectively.
Tidal Ranges
The tides are important for navigations as determine the possibility of crossing the
shallow area between Kutubdia points and the Karnafuli entrance and the Bars within
Port Limit.
The tides are semi diurnal with prominent diurnal effect.
The approx. Tidal Ranges at Patenga, Khal No. 10 and Sadarghat from Chart Datum
(ISLWL - Indian Spring Low Water Level which is 1.673m below mean sea level) are
as follows:
At Petenga : 1.5m.-5.5m. (above ISLWL)
At Khal No. 10 : 1.5m-4.8m. (above ISLWL)
At Sadarghat : 1.2m-4.2m. (above ISLWL)

4.6 Pilotage
(Compulsory for ocean vessels)
Pilotage is compulsory for ocean vessels. The entrance to the river is constantly
changing and no vessel should attempt to enter without Pilot. Pilot boards
approximately 2 nautical miles seaward of the outer Bar buoy.
In the moderate heavy weather a lee must be made for the Pilot boat. The vessel
receiving a pilot is required to wait at the Pilot ground near the entrance all clear of
anchor taking into consideration the effect of the tide and other condition to facilitate
boarding of the plot in good time to be able to avail of the tide for entering and
berthing etc. The propelling distance from the pilot ground to the main jetties is
approximately 11 nautical miles and the distance has to be covered at the variable
speed in different section of the river. Inward ship must present themselves at pilot
ground at least 3 hours before the high water to enter on a particular day. This of

course, is subject to the availability of berth and having permissible draft and length
etc.
The ship movements generally commence about 4 to 5 hours before the day‟s high
water and the tides have been termed day or night taking this factor into
consideration.
During the spring tide/Freshet Foul weather vessels under 7 knots will not be
normally handled and such vessels will be classed grade 2 for operation purpose.
Agents of such vessels are required to consult the Deputy conservator well in
advance.
Masters are advised to man oeuvre with great care while receiving and disembarking
pilots.
Vessels due for entering in the next 24 hours must anchor in anchorage B. keep R. T
watch at least 3 hours before the pilot boarding time and also display her signal
letters.
Incoming vessels normally enter with the flood time. The normal man oeuvre is to
snub with the star board anchor and proceed to berth / mooring after having up and
finally gone along side using the port anchor.

6. Techno-Economic Feasibility Study for a Deep Sea Port in Bangladesh
6.1 Overview
Bangladesh is situated in South Asia with a long coastline of about 580 km along the
Bay of Bengal. It has two sea ports, Chittagong in the south east and Mangla in the
south-west international sea borne trade of Bangladesh has been using these two sea
ports, with about 90% passing through the Chittagong.
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
The Bangladesh government has emphasized diversifying its economy away from
agriculture and has made industrial development a priority. In this backdrop the
importance of an efficient port is unquestionable.
Bangladesh Government had adopted the policy of promoting the development of
infrastructure projects, including ports, through the private sector for facilitating
accelerated economic growth through the sufficient provision of infrastructure and to
this end, has recently issued a Bangladesh Private Sector Infrastructure Guidelines.
In the above context, the Bangladesh Government intends to have a full-scale
techno-economic feasibility study for the construction of a deep sea port in
Bangladesh by assessing the over-all impact on the economy in general and the two
existing ports in particular.
6.2 Objectives of the Assignment
The main objective of the consultancy assignment is to prepare a feasibility report for
developing a deep sea port in Bangladesh on a commercial basis, recommending the
location, facilities and details of the infrastructure and services to be provided,
through a detailed study/analysis on its technical, social, economic and financial
viability. Special attention shall be given to the following:

10.1 Problems
Some experts have identified a number of problems hindering development of the
port city such as –
1. Poor physical infrastructure,
2. Lack of administrative initiative and cooperation,
3. Sluggish implementation of projects,
4. Unstable political environment,
5. Lack of foresight of the successive governments,
6. Absence of a business and investment-friendly policy,
7. Corruption,
8. Piracy,
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
9. Blockade by the opposition.
On July 3, 2005 Transparency International Bangladesh organized a roundtable on
„Chittagong Port: Problems and Prospects‟ at the Chittagong Chamber of Commerce
and Industries (CCCI) auditorium in Chittagong. TIB‟s report on the Chittagong Port
was presented during the roundtable. The report revealed that traders bribe over Tk.
800 crore to the Chittagong Port Customs a year. It also mentioned that exporters
and importers have to give Tk 460 crore as bribe to the Customs House every year
for exporting and importing goods through the port in addition to Tk 341 crore to the
port itself. Of the money needed to release containers from the port, 47 percent is
its real value while the rest 53 percent is spent on bribes. The other problems include
port officials' tendency to take excessive bribe, procedural complications, age-old
rules, monopoly domination of the operators and pilots, and excess labor unions.
Subsequent reports published in the Financial Express (FE) on November 2006
suggested that the port city is in peril due to any kind of strike or blockade. Country's
readymade garments (RMG) sector is the worst sufferers as the owners count a loss
of Tk 2.0 billion a day due to strike and agitation at the port. Losses in other sectors
of the economy are not far behind.
The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) has labeled Chittagong port in Bangladesh
as the "most dangerous port in the world" with 33 incidents of piracy (22 actual and
11 attempted) in the first nine months of 2006. The majority of these incidents
occurred in and around the port of Chittagong with violence and intimidation of crew
being the hallmark of these attacks. An analysis of piracy incidents over the last ten
years in Bangladesh show that at least 75 percent of the incidents were carried out in
harbor and port areas.
Imports and exports to and from Bangladesh have suffered immensely. While the
blockade by the Opposition particularly hit the movement of cargo by the land route,
labor go-slows and the full-blown strike by Chittagong port's gantry crane operators
crippled sea-borne trade. About 90 per cent of the country's maritime exports are
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
routed through Chittagong port. No wonder, about 18,000 containers, according to
one estimate, is piled up at the port's yards aggravating the congestion problem.
10.2 Recommendations
In order to remove all the problems of Chittagong Port stated before, the following
measures should be taken immediately.
1. A committee of specialists is to be formed at first. The committee will revise all
the past and existing plans, policies and decision to formulate a long term plan
for the port.
2. A regulatory committee should be formed to observe all the activities and
performance of the port.
3. It will be ruled by an autonomous body. It should not be moved toward
privatization. But the management of the port authority should enjoy a total
freedom from the government. But, they will be responsible for all the activities
of the port to the regulatory board.
4. Now, this is a port for Bangladesh only. But, it should also serve the neighbor
countries like Myanmar and northern & western part of India. For that, an
immediate long tern plan should be made.
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
CHITTAGONG PORT ATYORITY
5. The Chittagong Port Authority should take necessary decisions and steps for a
massive improvement of the physical infrastructure of the port area.
6. Modern & new equipments should be brought to accomplish the overall activities
of the port properly and efficiently.
7. All the operations and transactions of the port must have to be computerized.
8. The existing employees of the port should come under more intimate training
with modern technology.
9. High officials should be sent abroad to get experience and implement it in the
port.
10. An autonomous pay structure (increased) should be established, so that it can
demolish all kinds of corruption from the port.
11. There should be some examples of punishment for the violation of law and
corruption.
12. An environment of co-operation should be created among all the employees and
departments.
13. Recruitment of worthy personnel should be ensured.
14. All the development projects should be accomplished with priority basis within the
projected period.
15. The port of Chittagong should be free from all kinds of political interference.
