Port of Chittagong

Chittagong port is the most significant and crowded port of Bangladesh located in the Indian Ocean, at Port Internal Rd, Chittagong, Bangladesh (Lying about 12 miles inland from the mouth of Karnaphuli River).

Port of Chittagong was called Shetgang on 4th century BC and welcomed ships from Middle East and China. It is has been reported the Port of Chittagong was one of the most significant ports in East as it was as the joining point for multiple ancient civilizations including European, Turk, and Chinese.

Businessmen from Oman and Yemen called on the port by the 9th Century AD. Muslim traders used to consider the Port of Chittagong as their base port. Calling it Samunda, they managed the port for many years and made it a globally well-known trading center. It was called Porte Grande by the Portuguese in the 16th century. In 17th and 18th Centuries, Chittagong port was improved as a natural harbor and outlet for northeast British-India. In 1888, the official Port of Chittagong was introduced and its roads and railways construction was begun.

In 1947 India was partitioned and the Port of Chittagong became the only port welcoming eastern Pakistan so it faced large commercial traffic and many new jetties and berths were constructed in order for it to support the customers. This fast improvement continued as a result the need for a reorganization of port management was met. Accordingly the Chittagong Port Trust was formed in 1960. However, the newly organized trust did not meet the demands for the commercial improvement. Requirements to modernize and expand the Port of Chittagong led to establishing the Chittagong Port Authority.

In fact the Bangladesh government has long been neglecting the city of Chittagong. By the 21st century as trade reached a historic climax of $8 billion, investors’ attention was drawn in to the strategic commercial location of the city. Currently, the Port of Chittagong handles almost all of Bangladesh’s export and import.
