CHITTAGONG, Oct 6: The contract signing for container handling in the port's general cargo berths takes place tomorrow (Thursday) between the CPA and the private operators.
The Chittagong Port Authority notified award of the contract to the six berth operators selected through third tender and upon receiving the award most of the operators have deposited their performance guarantee to the CPA this afternoon.
CPA officials said they are expecting to sign the contract for handling containerised cargo Thursday.
Meanwhile, the pro-government port workers today staged demonstrations in front of the port building to cancel contracts with the private berth operators.
Over one hundred workers under the banner of Dock Port Workers and Employees’ Federation brought out a procession and rally adjacent to the CPA Building, creating severe traffic congestion in the busy port area.
