In order to cope up with the increasing demand as well to develop MPA Authority as a regional hub, a number of development projects have been taken. However, the number of support, service and utility vessels procured so far is not adequate to provide the intended service by the port. In view of the same, a study has been carried out to find out the necessary numbers, sizes and types of support, service and utility vessels for Mongla Port to meet future demand. The study also encompasses technical, commercial and financial viability of the same with respect required investment, operation and maintenance as well as manpower costs. The sensitivity analysis shows that the investment will be feasible one and enhance the capacity and standard of the port to serve as a modern regional port. and utility vessels for Mongla Port to meet future demand.
