CHATTOGRAM, April 2, 2026 (BSS) – The Chattogram Port Authority (CPA) has written to the top trade bodies of the ready-made garment sector, BGMEA and BKMEA, requesting them to expedite the delivery of Less Than Container Load (LCL) cargo amid congestion at the port.

Port Secretary Syed Refayet Hamim confirmed that the letter was sent to BGMEA and BKMEA officials on March 28. The letter, signed by Joint Terminal Manager Rajib Chowdhury, stated that 14 Container Freight Stations (CFSs) are currently filled with LCL cargo.

Most of the goods are imported by member companies of BGMEA and BKMEA. The port authorities said the congestion has increased pressure on port operations.

In the letter, the port authority requested the organisations to instruct their member companies to promptly take delivery of LCL cargo stored at CFSs and sheds.
