Matarbari Port

Matarbari Port is an under-construction sea port on the shores of Bay of Bengal, located at Moheshkhali upazila, Cox's Bazar district, Chittagong Division, Bangladesh. Construction of the port began in the late 2010s with the construction of a Captic Jetty for the Matarbari Power Plant, and later the Government of Bangladesh undertook a project to build a full-fledged commercial port. Once completed, it will be Bangladesh's first deep-sea port. It is estimated that the cost for the construction of the port in the first phase will be 177.77 billion to 200.00 billion, including the approach road. The port consists of an artificial harbour, and its navigable channel is surrounded by Breakwaters. The harbour has a depth of 16 m (52 ft) and can accommodate panamax and capesize ships. Cargo will be handled through container berths and multi-purpose cargo berths at the harbour. The port has a navigable channel about 14.3 km (8.9 mi) long and 350 m (1, 150 ft) wide with a depth of 16 m (52 ft), which is the deepest among ports in Bangladesh. The port's draft ranges from about 14.4 m (47 ft) to a maximum of 18 m (59 ft) with tidal support, which will allow entry for carrying more than 8,000 TEUs or 100,000 deadweight tons container ships.
