Chittagong to give priority for Colombo-bound vessels Daily News (via HT Media Ltd.) The Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) yesterday made some decisions, including prioritising berthing for Colombo-bound feeder vessels, aiming at clearing out exports piling up at private Inland Container Depots (ICD). It will also give priority berthing to feeder vessels carrying export-laden containers. It also decided to permit two feeder operators to ply three new feeder vessels on the Chattogram-Colombo route. The CPA proposed that the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) should convince their international buyers to not nominate a few selective shipping companies for carrying their export cargoes. They should rather nominate more shipping companies to avoid a monopoly situation, they said.
