A tanker named PVT Solana, carrying 27,300 tonnes of refined diesel from Malaysia, is scheduled to arrive at Chittagong Port today, Monday.
The vessel is expected to anchor at the port’s outer anchorage today after completing the required formalities. It is likely to berth at the Dolphin Jetty tomorrow, Tuesday.
Chittagong Port Secretary Syed Refayet Hamim confirmed the development, stating that the tanker is en route to the port with the diesel consignment from Malaysia.
“The current global situation and instability in the Middle East have created a fuel crisis around the world, and its effects are also being felt in Bangladesh,” he said. “To address this challenge, the port authority is giving priority to the unloading of all fuel-carrying vessels.”
The port secretary added that a total of 33 vessels carrying LNG, LPG, crude oil, gas oil, and base oil had arrived at Chittagong Port over the previous 27 days. Another LNG-carrying vessel is expected to arrive on April 4.
Earlier, a tanker that brought 31,000 tonnes of refined diesel and arrived on March 26 has already completed unloading and departed from the port.
A senior official of the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC), speaking on condition of anonymity, told BSS that besides sea shipments, approximately 7,000 tonnes of diesel have already reached the country through the pipeline from India’s Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL).
However, another consignment from India, originally scheduled to arrive on March 31, may face a delay of a few days due to procedural formalities.
