Some time ago, Bangladesh's supply chain was in a state of extreme disarray as a result of successive protests, with exports virtually halted and cargo backlogs and congestion delays at the Chittagong port severe. After the local curfew was lifted and network services were restored, operations at the Chittagong port began to gradually recover.
However, the recent flood crisis has once again put Bangladesh's import and export cargo transportation in jeopardy.
Many parts of the Dhaka-Chittagong Highway, the main freight route from Dhaka to Chittagong, have been submerged due to persistent rains in the south-east as well as floods from the Indian state of Tripura. Trucks loaded with export cargo from Dhaka and elsewhere are encountering obstacles, detours and delays on their way to Chittagong, the main seaport of Bangladesh.
According to industry sources, some shipping companies have deployed extra vessels to transport export cargoes stranded in Chittagong port to solve the congestion caused by political unrest in the port. Chittagong port is gradually returning to normal operations and container traffic has increased.
However, the current traffic congestion caused by flooding has once again hindered the normal transportation of import and export cargoes from Chittagong, and some cargoes may face delays. Cargo owners and forwarders with shipping plans should continue to pay close attention to port dynamics and adjust their transportation plans according to the latest situation.
