The Matarbari Port is being developing in two phases. In the first phase, a 300-metre multi-purpose terminal with a backup area of 29.15 acres will be constructed by June 2025. A 460-metre container terminal with a backup area of 50 acres will be built within December 2025.
In the proposed deep seaport, mother vessels of nearly 16- metre draft will be able to berth. Currently at the Chattogram Port jetties, vessels with only 9-metre draft can berth. Container vessels with only 2000 TEUs of containers can berth at CPA jetties. In the proposed deep sea port, vessels carrying 8000 TEUs of containers will berth. It will initially be an energy-power deep seaport and be used for power, energy and coal. It will then be extended into a multipurpose deep seaport. The project includes a 14.7km long, 250m wide and 18.5m deep-sea channel. The project area is some 40 nautical miles from the port at Chattogram.
