An Indonesian ship carrying 65,000 tonnes of coal has anchored at the Matarbari deep sea port in Cox’s Bazar’s Moheshkhali amid the ongoing power output crisis caused by a lack of fuel.
The vessel navigated through a breakwater channel to dock in Moheshkhali Port on Wednesday, according to Alfaz Uddin, a security officer at Matarbari coal-fired power project, reports bdnews24.com
Port authorities have already initiated the unloading process, he said.

Four shipments  totalling 250,000 tonnes of coal have arrived at the port over the past month and a half for the 1,200 MW Matarbari power plant.
Although it has yet to be established as a port, as many as 115 ships have dropped anchor at the Matarbari deep sea port over the past year and a half, including two large vessels carrying coal.
