Sixteen ships carrying refined fuel have arrived at Chattogram Port between March 3 and March 14, 2026, supporting stable energy supply for Bangladesh’s power generation and industrial sectors. Eleven of the ships have already completed unloading, while the remaining five are in the process. Port authorities confirmed that three additional vessels are expected to reach the port in the coming days.

According to port data, three LNG carriers from Qatar—‘Al Zubarah’, ‘Al Jasasiya’, and ‘Lusail’—each unloaded about 62,000 tons of LNG during the first ten days of March. Another vessel, ‘Al Galayel’, arrived on March 12 with 26,165 tons of LNG being transferred to a floating storage and regasification unit. LPG shipments were the most frequent, with tankers from Malaysia and Oman unloading a total of 19,316 tons so far, and more unloading operations continuing through mid-March.

Despite geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz affecting shipping and insurance costs, port officials stated that operations remain normal this month, ensuring uninterrupted energy supply for power, industry, and households.
