Chittagong Port is Bangladesh's largest seaport and the near-exclusive gateway for the country's substantial ready-made garment and manufactured goods exports. Located on the Bay of Bengal, it handles both containerised cargo and dry bulk commodities such as grain, coal, and steel. Compared to major regional hubs like Singapore or Port Klang, terminal capacity is more constrained and average vessel waiting times are longer – a factor freight forwarders must account for in transit time calculations. Import and export documentation follows Bangladesh Customs procedures.
