Bangladesh: Grounded Barges And The Siltation Risk At Chattogram Outer Anchorage
An aerial drone view shows a stranded cargo vessel on a sandbar off Patenga Sea Beach in Chattogram, Bangladesh, on July 21, 2026, with dozens of merchant ships anchored across the outer anchorage in the background. Sandbars formed by altered tidal flows trap vessels near the busy maritime hub, creating environmental and navigation hazards. (Photo by Zakir Hossain/NurPhoto)
