Bangladesh: Cargo Ships Anchor On Karnaphuli River As Bad Weather Halts Chittagong Port Operations.
A drone captures the Shah Amanat Bridge spanning the Karnaphuli River, with dozens of lighterage vessels anchored below during bad weather in Chattogram, Bangladesh, on July 14, 2026. Continuous heavy rain and a local cautionary signal number 3 since July 5 have suspended loading and unloading operations at the outer anchorage of the Chattogram Port. To avoid the adverse maritime conditions, a thousand lighterage ships have moved upstream and anchored in rows near the Shah Amanat Bridge on the Karnaphuli River for safe harbor.
