Iran has assured Bangladesh that oil and LNG tankers bound for the country will not face obstruction while passing through the Hormuz Strait, despite ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The assurance came after Bangladesh contacted Iran over concerns about energy supply disruptions through one of the world’s most critical maritime routes. Energy ministry officials said the move has eased immediate concerns about fuel supply stability.
A tanker carrying 27,000 tons of diesel from Singapore arrived at Chattogram port on Monday, with four more vessels carrying about 120,000 tons expected this week. To meet April’s demand, the government has initiated direct purchases of around 300,000 tons of diesel from alternative sources, as long-term contracts face uncertainty due to the war. Bangladesh currently supplies about 9,000 tons of diesel daily against a normal demand of 12,000 tons.
China and India have expressed willingness to support Bangladesh in addressing potential fuel shortages. The government has strengthened market monitoring and directed local administrations to prevent hoarding and irregularities.
