No vessel could come back to jetty for rough sea

No vessel could return to the jetties of Chattogram port on Monday as rough seas persisted, suspending major operations for the second consecutive day. 19 vessels were earlier shifted to the sea as a precaution against Cyclone Remal. Attempts by port pilots to board these ships and bring them back failed due to heavy swells, rain and winds. Limited cargo delivery from port yards resumed, but loading/unloading remained suspended with outer anchorage vessels also unable to offload cargo. Photo: Rajib Raihan
