Although dredging is yet to begin, project authority says work is going on at a steady pace and the port will be functional by 2021. Initiative of building Bangladesh’s third sea port on 6,500 acres of land at Kalapara in Patuakhali is making steady progress, authorities say, even though the construction of major components such as terminals and dredging is yet to begin.The government has already completed the construction of some sections while some others are underway. Completion of those will enable the port to run general import and export activity in a limited range. In addition, outside of the port area, three large coal-based power plants with 1300MW capacity each are also under construction. The sites for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and oil refinery have been started by the private entrepreneurs. The Bangladesh government declared this project as one of the “10 Fast Track” projects being implemented by the government. This port will connect the rest of the country by water, road, rail and airway.
