Pangoan Inland Terminal

Pangoan Inland Terminal:

Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) and the Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) jointly built this Pangoan Inland Terminal at a cost of Tk1.54bn. The terminal is expected to play a positive role in the country’s economic development by opening up a new horizon in the transportation of exported and imported goods through waterways. The project aims to help ease the pressure of cargo movement on the Dhaka-Chittagong railway and highway corridors. The Pangoan Inland Terminal has a storage capacity of 3,500 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containers and handle 116,000 TEU containers annually. The capacity will gradually be raised to 160,000TEU. Three vessels – Pangaon Express, Pangaon Success and Pangaon Vision – have already been procured from China at the cost of Tk500m to operate the terminal. Each vessel can carry 128 containers (20ft equivalent units or TEUs).

The distance of the river route from Chittagong to Dhaka is approximately 157 nautical miles. The draft of the river is around 4.5 Meter except some area of  SWANDWIP but at high tide vessel ranging from 4-5 meter draft can move easily. Presently in this route Bulk cargo, petroleum & other cargo are transported through small vessels.
