Both imports and exports have been affected because of this. Operations by the Chattogram Port Authority (CPA) had resumed on August 6 in full swing and 66 ships have reported arrived at the port. Of them, 16 are in jetties while other 50 in the outer anchorage.

CPA secretary Muhammad Omar Faruk has shared that loading and unloading from ships and delivery of both cargo and containers from the port sheds have started in a smooth manner. The Bangladesh Railway had also suspended all trains beginning July 18. Trains carry containers to Kamalapur inland container depot from Chattogram Port.
