Latest update on the situation in Bangladesh 07/08/24

Today, offices, banks, and factories remain open, and the CFS is operational.

The port is also open, although there is congestion caused by delayed import releases, and an average berthing time of 3-4 days. Currently, the port is operating at around 87% capacity.

Carriers are experiencing equipment shortages due to delayed import deliveries. Specifically, MSC, Hapag, ONE Line, ZIM Line, and COSCO are facing shortages, while Maersk and CMA have an adequate number of containers.

Transport movement has been limited in recent days due to safety concerns. We are hoping to see improvements to the situation from tomorrow and are continuing to monitor the situation closely.
