Rethinking how the logistics sector absorbs diesel price hikes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The latest hike in fuel prices has already begun rippling through the logistics chain. Soon after the government raised the prices of all four major petroleum products, including diesel, by Tk 20 a litre on September 20, owners of 21 private inland container depots (ICDs) responded by raising six container-handling charges by 9.85 percent. Berth operators have sought revisions to contract rates, while lighter-vessel owners and road transport operators are mulling or already executing similar adj
Laldia can handle bigger ships, but can the inland network keep up? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The recent inauguration of the construction of the $550 million Laldia Container Terminal has rightly generated optimism. With modern equipment, substantial additional capacity, and the ability to accommodate vessels of up to 6,000 TEUs, Laldia could change what is physically possible at Chattogram port.

But as our port infrastructure expands, one pertinent question that remains largely unanswered is: how should we judge whether ports are becoming genuinely sustainable? For years, this debate has often focused on capacity, congestion, emissions, dredging, or “green port” initiatives. These issues are important, but none covers the full spectrum of sustainability. A modern port must be environmental
Waterway decline demands a smarter logistics strategy, not just dredging (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A recent report by this daily, citing concerns raised by the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI), reported that more than 55 percent of Bangladesh’s inland waterways are no longer functional. The DCCI has called for stronger investment in inland waterway infrastructure. The report has rightly renewed attention to one of the country’s greatest natural assets. However, the biggest challenge here is not just the decline of navigable waterways, but the absence of a comprehensive logistics
