A new milestone has been achieved at the country’s main seaport, as the New Mooring Container Terminal (NCT) at Chattogram Port recorded its highest-ever single-day container handling.
On Thursday, a total of 5,709 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) were handled at the terminal under the management of the port authority and terminal operator Chittagong Dry Dock Limited.
This marks the highest number of containers handled in a single day at the NCT in the port’s history.
Chattogram Port Authority Secretary Syed Refaet Hamim confirmed the development.
He said that across all terminals, a total of 10,162 TEUs were handled in the past 24 hours, reflecting the port’s growing capacity.
He attributed the achievement to the tireless efforts, dedication and patriotism of workers.
Notably, the previous record was set on 11 April, when 5,484 TEUs were handled.
