Two fuel-carrying vessels, Central Star and MEI, arrived at Chattogram Port on April 12, 2026. The unloading process began at noon, confirmed by the port authority’s secretary, Syed Refayet Hamim. According to the Chattogram Port Authority, the Malaysia-origin Central Star is unloading petrol at Dolphin Jetty DOG/05 berth, while the U.S.-origin MEI is discharging LNG at the FSRU terminal. Both unloading operations are expected to be completed within the day, and the ships arrived through Pride Agency.

The port’s marine department report indicates that several other fuel vessels are awaiting arrival. Ships carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and LNG from India, Australia, and Angola are scheduled to reach the port sequentially. Meanwhile, two other LPG carriers, Gas Courage from India and DL Lily from Malaysia, are stationed at Bravo and Charlie points, continuing their unloading activities. Another LNG vessel from the United States, named Kongtong, is also expected to reach the port later today.

These developments reflect ongoing energy import operations through Chattogram Port, highlighting its role in managing Bangladesh’s fuel supply chain.
