Transport of coal to commence to Bangladesh via inland waterways

The coal stocks are from mines in Meghalaya and will be transported on a 'free-on-board' basis to several buyers in Bangladesh via barges operated by private logistics operators.

The movement of coal from Pandu inland waterway port in Guwahati to Bangladesh is set to begin, which will increase the attractiveness of cargo transport via inland waterways in India's eastern and north-eastern regions. The coal will be transported from Pandu port to Sirajganj port in northwestern Bangladesh, along the Brahmaputra river, known as the Jamuna in Bangladesh. "We are currently looking into the custom formalities of the voyage to be undertaken," Mukul Jain, Assistant Director at the Inland Waterways Authority of India, said.

The coal stocks are from mines in Meghalaya and will be transported on a 'free-on-board' basis to several buyers in Bangladesh via barges operated by private logistics operators. Earlier this year, two barges carrying a consignment of 1,798 tonne steel products from Haldia port in West Bengal to Pandu inland port via the Indo-Bangladesh Protocol route completed the first steel cargo transport.
