A vessel with consignments for the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP) in Pabna has arrived at Mongla port.
The ship – ‘MV Liberty Harvest’ carrying goods weighing 1,137.449 tonnes docked at the port’s jetty number 7 on Sunday afternoon, said Biplab Khan, manager of HSR Ocean Traders, the ship's local shipping agent.
The goods are being unloaded from the ship and securely stored in the port's shed area. Once completed, these machinery units will be transported by road to the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, he said.
On May 29, the MV Anka Sky arrived at Mongla port, transporting goods directly from Russia for the plant. On May 6, another foreign vessel named MV Anka Sun arrived at the port.
On April 25, the MV Yamal Orlan arrived at Mongla port with goods for the project. Previously, the MV Yamal Orlan, the MV Dragonball and the MV Kamilla had also made deliveries.
Recently, the United States of America has imposed a ban on 69 ships operated by seven shipping companies. Only ships not included in the ban are now directly arriving at Mongla port from Russia.
On the other hand, the vessels that fall under the restriction list are currently transiting through India before reaching Mongla port.
