The Payra sea port’s first terminal is expected to be up and running by October, facilitating transport of goods from mother vessels and speeding up operations in the country’s third major seaport. The terminal, built on the banks of the Rabnabad channel, will have the capacity to simultaneously load three 200-metre-long mother vessels. The 650-metre main terminal will have a 3.25 lakh square metre backup yard and a 10,000 square metre container freight station facility. Two more terminals are also under construction. With Belgian company Jan De Nul completing capital dredging on the country’s deepest channel in March this year, mother vessels began using the jetty at the Payra thermal power plant adjacent to the Payra port. Another 1.12km bridge is also being constructed over the Andharmanik river, Rahman said, adding that work on a six-lane 6.35-km road was also proceeding rapidly. Till August, Payra Port Authority earned Tk 913.19 crore in revenues from 339 foreign commercial ships and 1,459 domestic lighterage vessels using the port’s under-construction facilities.
In FY23, Bangladesh’s exports to the world market were more than $55 billion, where RMG’s share was $47 billion and non-RMG’s share was $8.5 billion. Bangladesh has the potential to increase its export earnings to $22.5 billion from major non-RMG products to the European Union by enhancing its supply-side capacity, suggests a study. Additionally, earnings from ready-made garment exports could rise up to $60 billion to the EU market through the diversification of garment items, according to the study of the Research and Policy Integration for Development Bangladesh (RAPID). In FY23, Bangladesh’s exports to the world market were more than $55 billion, where RMG’s share was $47 billion and non-RMG’s share was $8.5 billion.
