International River Port beside Padma in Rajshahi

International river port will be built in Rajshahi beside the Padma River. India's delegation is coming soon. The excavation work at BDT 57 crore will start soon. One of the purposes is to build an International river port in Rajshahi is to increase trade with India. In order to build a deep channel in the Padma River for setting up the river port, steps have been taken to start the navigability by digging the Padma.

This whole development work will be implemented by the joint initiative of Bangladesh and India. So there were discussions between the two countries. A representative team of India will come soon to visit the location in Rajshahi city. But before that the excavation work has been started by the government as an initiative in around 6 kilometers of Padma river bank.

Rajshahi city corporation mayor AHM Khairuzzaman Liton said that a 6 kilometer stretch from Sonai Kandi to Pathanpara would be excavated at a cost of Taka 57 crore. There will be 2.6 million cubic meters of soil. Dr Golam Sarwar, the caretaker engineer of the Dredger Operation Circle, said they would drag in the river until mid June. If targeted excavation work not achieved during that period, then they will wait till next dry season.

Mayor of Rajshahi City Corporation said that the river port will be cost effective in bringing goods from India and from other parts of the country. Bangladeshi businessmen will be able to bring products at low cost. Again, Indian businessmen can invest here and can export products to their country or others. The traders of the two countries will get benefit if the river port is built here.

It is to be noted that during the Pakistan period there was a river port in Rajshahi. Lots of large ships of the country including India came to Rajshahi with goods and products. The sweet famous mango of Rajshahi supplied to Dhaka by ship earlier. But after the Farakka barrage, nowadays, the shelf wakes up all year round except for three months of rainy season. There is an attempt to build the river port again by removing this sand.

Matarbari Deep Seaport and Power Hub

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is an official agency that coordinates Official Development Assistance for Japan government. JICA is chartered with assisting economic and social growth in developing countries, and the promotion of international cooperation. On 21^st March 2019 JICA has presented a presentation on Moheshkhali - Matarbari integrated infrastructure development proposal at Prime Minister’s office. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that she has taken initiative to develop the Matarbari - Moheshkhali integrated area in Singapore model.

The industries and factories will be built around the proposed power and energy hub in Matarbari. She is eager to build a modern world-class Deep Seaport at Matarbari. JICA said in its presentation that the deep seaport they are offering to build in Matarbari will be 18.7 meter in draft. By 2024 they will finish the first phase of the proposed deep seaport.

The economic zone in that area will be beside the LNG terminal which will be constructing to meet the energy needs. With the establishment of the Dhaka-Chittagong National Highway N-1 and the Railway track, direct communication between Chittagong and Cox's Bazar will be established with Matarbari.

JICA has proposed to build a long-term power and energy hub around Matarbari deep seaport region at the end of 2041, According to their plan:

• Investment of about 20 billion US dollars will be required for the integrated development projects of Maheshkhali - Matarbari. JICA offered nearly half of the amount which is $ 10, 240 million in credit support. In local currencies the amount is about 86 thousand Crore BDT.

• The master plan of Maheshkhali - Matarbari will be implemented in three phases.

• The first phase will be built by the year 2024 with a 1200 MW coal based Ultra Super Critical Coal Power plant, a Coal Jetty and Harbor.

• In the second phase by 2031, the port will be expanded and will build for the purpose of deep seaport and the LNG Terminal will build.

• In the third phase, special economic zones will be built by 2041, basic energy related industries, and planned infrastructure for planned urbanization will be built also in these area.

• Power plant of total 21,700 MW electricity will be available from the power hub.

• The LNG terminal with capacity of 3,500 MMCFD will be developed.

• Extending the port-based economic zones, the heavy and petrochemical industries will be set up.

• At the end of the 3rd phase of 2041, Matarbari deep seaport will be able to handle about 4.8 million TEUS container, which will be almost double of container handling capability in the Chittagong seaport.

In a meeting on the progress of coordinated development activities of Maheshkhali-Matarbari held on Thursday, 21^st March 2019, JICA highlighted this information to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

In existing Chittagong seaport 9 Meter draft ships can berth and in Mongla port 7 Meter drafts ships can berth. The proposed Payra sea port will be able to handle ships with 14 meter drafts. The Matarbari deep sea port will be 18.7 meter draft. There are only two deep seaports with this 18 meter drafts facility in the world, one of them in Sri Lanka and the other in Dubai. With this 18 meter drafting facility container ship that contain around one lac container will be able to berth in Matarbari Deep Seaport.

The project to build 1200 MW coal based power plant at Matarbari area funded by Japan, is based on the foundation for deep seaport construction. According to the demand of this coal-based power plant, there will be construction of jetties and harbors for large quantities of coal handling. The liquid natural gas (LNG) terminal will be developed in this area. Special economic zones will be set up for industries to attract domestic and foreign investment. Besides, tourist spots will be developed for tourists.

A planned city with all types of facilities will be developed for the officers, employees and workers. The relevant localities will get from the established infrastructure development where there will be all facilities available with modern education and healthcare services etc. Highway and railway links will be established which will be connected to Dhaka directly from Cox's Bazar to Chittagong. And in this master plan the goal is to building Maheshkhali - Matarbari integrated area as the focal point of the industrial growth belt (Big B Initiative) that is surrounded by the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh, India, Myanmar and China.

Thanks,
