Bangladesh is one of the more difficult markets in SE Asia for port development, but there are signs the government is now moving at a faster pace.

RSGT is set to start operations at the much-anticipated Patenga Container Terminal (PCT) in Bangladesh’s Chittagong Port on June 10.

Abu Dhabi Ports Group has signed an MoU for part of the new Bay Terminal at the port of Chattogram; PSA and DP World are also expected to participate.

The Port of Salalah has taken delivery of the first four cranes in a series of 10 super-post panamax STS cranes being manufactured by ZPMC. The remaining cranes will arrive at Oman’s largest container port in Q2 2024 with all units fully commissioned in the third quarter of the year.

As part of an Executive Order aimed at strengthening maritime cyber-security, the Biden Administration plans to invest over US$20B over the next five years in port infrastructure including funds for recreating the domestic port crane industry

Kalmar, which is part of Finland’s Cargotec group is to supply Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam with two fully electric and eight hybrid straddle carriers. The machines will be used in the company’s ECT Delta terminal and be delivered by the end of this year.
