Congestion persists at Bangladesh’s Chittagong port. Berthing delays continue to be in the 4-5 days range at all terminals.  As of September 5, 2017, there were 11 vessels at berth, 20 vessels waiting to berth, and 24 vessels expected to arrive.  Port yards also continue to be congested, with all yards at 95% capacity.  The CPA continues to force shipment of empty containers in order to help alleviate the situation. Due to the EID festival currently underway, most vendors offices and/or factories will be closed through September 9, 2017  Century Bangladesh continues to keep our customers informed of impacted cargo or vessel delays through the usual methods, including VMS Shipment Messages.
