There has been a sharp fall in delivery of imported goods from the Chittagong port in the last six days since the countrywide lockdown was imposed on April 14 as importers are not taking the deliveries timely.
Overall container occupancy at the port yards is still at a comfortable level, sans those dedicatedly used for storing import laden containers.
