The interim Government announced plans to transfer three terminals of the Chittagong port to foreign operators by 31st December. Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) Executive Chairman Chowdhury Ashik Mahmud Bin Harun shared this update during an event at the port.
Speaking after inaugurating an agent desk at Gate No 4, Mahmud identified the terminals to be handed over as the New Mooring Terminal (NTC), Laldia Terminal, and Bay Terminal.
