Bangladesh: Grounded Barges And The Siltation Risk At Chattogram Outer Anchorage
A top-down aerial drone view shows a cargo ship grounded beside complex sandbar patterns off Patenga Sea Beach in Chattogram, Bangladesh, on July 21, 2026. Obstruction caused by grounded hulls leads to abnormal sediment buildup and changes in water currents, compounding coastal vulnerability along the Bay of Bengal. (Photo by Zakir Hossain/NurPhoto)
