Overall container handling by 17 private depots (dry ports) in Bangladesh grew by around 16 per cent in 2021 over the previous year to cross 1 million TEUs for the first time. The growth is at least 3 percentage points higher than the Chittagong Port container handling last year. The private depots handled a total of 709,196 TEUs of exports and 303,016 TEUs of imports in 2021.

Their export-cargo handling grew more than 25 per cent in 2021 in a robust rebound after the opening up of the economies in Europe and North America. Import handling shows a negative growth by nearly 2.3 per cent, according to a report in a Bangladesh newspaper.

The 17 depots handle almost cent per cent exports of Bangladesh.
