It is reported that after the Eid al-Fitr celebrations last week, Chittagong Port, the main seaport of Bangladesh, faced serious queuing of ships and congestion in the container yard.
Due to the epidemic this year and the spread of the Indian epidemic to neighboring countries, many countries have implemented strict controls during the Eid al-Fitr. For example, Malaysia’s latest epidemic prevention regulations require that the "movement control order" be implemented nationwide from May 12 to June 7. And Eid al-Fitr celebrations and religious activities will also be restricted.
In recent weeks, due to the ongoing blockade, the slow delivery of cargo in the port has caused severe ship and container congestion in the Chittagong port.
It is said that labor is very important to keep the port running. Since port activities are conducted around the clock, workers can only enjoy very limited holidays. Therefore, during the Eid al-Fitr, they usually choose not to go to work, which exacerbates the congestion problem in the port.
The Bangladesh Container Shipping Association wrote to the Chittagong Port Authority at the beginning of this month requesting to strengthen the allocation of berths for container ships to avoid ship congestion. And worker’s productivity is expected to return to normal once Eid al-Fitr ends.
