Dhaka, Feb. 10 -- The Mongla Port, Bangladesh's second-largest seaport located in Bagerhat district, is undergoing significant expansion to boost its cargo handling capacity.

This expansion aims to significantly enhance the port's cargo handling capacity, especially following improved connectivity due to the Padma Multipurpose Bridge, which directly links the capital city, Dhaka.

The construction of six additional jetties is central to this expansion. Notably, Jetties No. 3 and 4 have reached 62% completion, with an investment of Tk 800 crore.

Proposals for Jetties No. 1 and 2 are pending approval from the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (Ecnec), while plans for Jetties No. 11 and 12 are underway.
