Delhi mulls giving Bangladesh access to ports on west coast

[Homo Sapiens]

A day is coming when India will tell Dhaka, "Since your Bangladesh Airlines is in shambles why do not your people come to the deep Bombay airport on the west coast?" Bloody stupid India and brainless BAL politicians!!

This west coast port in India is the most absurd offer ever. Who in their right mind would transport goods 2000 km overland in a foreign country to reach a sea port? I think, behind this proposal there is an ulterior motif to hamper the construction of deep sea ports within Bangladesh. Chanakya want us to believe that, this type of absurd offer could be the substitute of building domestic deep sea port and are equivalent of giving them transit to Chittagong port and other ports within Bangladesh. Chanakya want to use Bangladeshi port which will reduce their transport distance by a thousand km, yet offer us port which are 2000 km away from Bangladesh. Truly, Chanakya understand business like no other.

Well Indians are known for being total imbeciles after all.

That is why they are an impoverished 3rd world country 72 years after independence.

I believe Matarbari/Sonadia will come online in three years time, and that deep-draft facility will be able to receive container ships of 44,000 to 50,000 DWT capacity. Those ships can go all the way to Europe or the US.

Please see the BoB map and tell me honestly if Matarbari deep seaport (for foreign trade) is indeed needed. The Oceangoing large mother ships anchor in Singapore and Colombo from where the smaller feeder ships offload (or load) the goods on them. Singapore port covers the countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, MM, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines, BD and part of India. It serves many countries that is why Singapore as a deep-sea is profitable for Ocean-going shipping companies.

Now, what profits they would earn if these ships have to come another 3,000 km to your Matarbari and that is only for delivery/loading the goods of one country, Bangladesh? Better we do not speak loud about Matarbari port. If the govt builds it, it will be a smaller one for unloading the factory machines the foreign companies will bring for installation in their factories nearby. Matarbari will be regarded as a deep seaport only because the water depth satisfies the criteria.

This is an offer for the sake of making an offer. /

Delhi mulls giving Bangladesh access to ports on west coast

Part of move to improve India’s attractiveness as a transshipment hubwill
At a time when Nepal is bracing for a multi-billion dollar bill for rail connectivity to Chinese ports located over 4,000 km away, India is discussing the possibility of giving Bangladesh access to the west coast ports ofl JNPT or Mundra, which can receive large mother vessels and are located a little over 2,000 km away from Dhaka.

The connectivity will come at no extra cost, as a series of India-sponsored rail-link projects are under implementation between India and Bangladesh. And, Dhaka is building a bridge over the Padma river. The proposal, which is in initial stages, is a win-win for both the countries. Bangladesh now ships its exports, mostly garments, by daughter vessels through the congested Chittagong port to Colombo, Singapore or Port of Klang for transshipment to mother vessels. The entire process is time-consuming with cost implications.

Article Continues Below
Bangladesh aspires to have deep-sea ports. However, considering its limited cargo potential, there is a question mark over the viability of such facilities, which involve substantial investments. Also, there is no guarantee that shipping lines will send mother vessels to Bangladesh.

India has already offered Bangladesh the right to use Kolkata port (in exchange for Bangladesh granting the North-East region access to Chittagong port). However, it may not solve the long-term problems of Dhaka, as Kolkata, being a river port, cannot draw large vessels.

The other Indian ports on the east coast are either yet to have container traffic or suffer from low draft. India is building three ports — including the proposed $4-billion Vizhinjam port by Adani group — to attract transshipment traffic from Colombo or Klang. However, this will take time. Meanwhile, the Narendra Modi government is keen to improve India’s attractiveness as a transshipment hub by inviting neighbours to use its deep-draft port facilities on the west coast.

With Customs having implemented the electronic cargo tracking system, third country containers can easily pass through without physical checks and the resultant delay. The huge investments underway in rail infra will make movement of goods easier. It might also add to the viability of the upcoming freight corridor.

With connectivity issues getting resolved fast, both India and Bangladesh are looking forward to making better use of the infrastructure.

Haul goods 2000 km away to a port thru many interchanges, Mao infested areas, and not to mention pay all that money for transshipment. I would like to think Indians are smarter than a door knob, but there is a reason why the Indians were subjugated for a 1000 years !

It does not matter, how much suck up Hasina does to Bharat, at the end, India will do nothing that benefits Bd.

Indian genetically small hearted and cunning by nature. Bd is wasting its time dealing with Indian.

 

[bluesky]

Who in BD cares what India says. But, I thought India is busy expelling its Muslim citizens. How come it talks about the use of a deep seaport in its west coast. Why Singapore would not be better for BD than its west coast? Eve Nepalese and Bhutanese exporters want a BD seaport for their foreign trade.

Delhiwalas getting desperate by the day.

So much butthurt here over just a media farticle lol.

2 dollar investment per capita chumps have too much time on their hands when they aren't at their "Indian" restaurant making vindaloo and trying to painfully answer whitey's questions about is Bangladesh a city in India?

Dude, what is this obsession about BD posters working at Indian restaurants?

Is it because you are ashamed of yourself and trying to make yourself feel better?

 

[925boy]

True absolutely Bangladesh should invest billion dollars in developing their own ports , they can do something like Gwadar port

Gwadar = Chinese $. If a country doesnt have that type of $, then bye bye to that port happening. Just sayin..

With $513 billion loan burden from the foreign sources and with a foreign currency reserve of only $392 billion, an Indian imbecile refugee in Canada is talking here about other countries' rate of investment. Very funny.

Delhiwalas are getting desperate by the day.

Delhi is asking Dhaka to give it Chittagong port facilities and is kindly reciprocating it by asking Dhaka to use its Bombay Port 3000 km away. Indians are born stupid.
