Oil Handling Terminal
Chittagong port hosts Bangladesh only petroleum refinery plant. Eastern Refinery Limited (ERL) a
subsidiary of the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC). The refinery complex was installed on
the bank of the Karnafuli River. It went into operation in 1968. This refinery has the capacity of refining
34,000 barrels of crude oil per day (i.e., 1.5 million m tons per year). Basically, it is a fuel refinery,
producing different kinds of petroleum products along with some special non-fuel products used in
other industries.
ERL processes mainly two types of crude oil - Arabian Light Crude (ALC) from Saudi Arabia and
Murban Crude from Abu Dhabi. ERL also processes a small quantity (about 200-250 bbl/day) of oil
from Haripur gas field. Refined products supplied by ERL meet the demand for most of the petroleum
products of the country except kerosene, JP-1 (Jet Propulsion-1) and diesel. These are imported as
finished products to supplement the deficit.
Eastern Refinery produces 17 petroleum products such as RG (Refinery Gas), LPG (liquefied
petroleum gas), SBP (Special Boiling Point Solvent), MS (Motor Spirit), Naphtha, SKO (Superior
Kerosene Oil), MTT (Mineral Turpentine), JP-1, JBO (Jute Batching Oil), HSD (High Speed Diesel),
LSDO (Low Sulphur Diesel Oil), LDO (Light Diesel Oil), HSFO (High Sulphur Fuel Oil), LSFO (Low
Sulphur Furnace Oil) and Bitumen.
Some of these, such as SBP, JBO, MTT and Bitumen are non-fuel products. Some of the ER
products are produced only on demand. The surroundings of the refinery hosts then important fuel
depots operated by all major Bangladeshi Oil companies and distributors. 3 specific jetties are
dedicated to oil.

The Chittagong Silo is situated at north Patenga, Chittagong. It is the biggest silo of Bangladesh with
storage capacity of 100.000 MT. It deals with wheat only and is under the administrative control of
Ministry of Food and Disaster Management of the government of Bangladesh.
The strategy for Chittagong Silo is to use it predominantly for quick clearance of incoming mother
vessels carrying imported wheat, for storage of a national buffer stock, to maintain quality of stored
grain and quick dispatching to upcountry destinations with maximum efficiency.
From the operation point of view Chittagong Silo can be divided into three sub-systems namely:
1. Receiving
2. Storage
3. Dispatching
1. RECEIVING SUB-SYSTEM:
This Silo has the facilities to receive food grain (particularly wheat) only in bulk through Gantry. The
objective of the system is as follows:
a. To start unloading as quickly as possible.
b. To unload grain from carrier within minimum possible time.
c. To record weighing of all incoming grain accurately.
d. To ensure safe storage.
2. STORAGE SUB-SYSTEM:
The Silo has 88 round bins and 54 star bins. The capacity of each round bin is 1000 MT and that of
star bin is 225 MT. The Silo is provided with a dust control machine. Existing fumigation on pest
control system is provided with a liquid spray system and peeled dispenser system, though it is rarely
used due to non infestation of the grain. The objective of this sub-system is to keep the grain in good
quality.
3. DESPATCHING SUB-SYSTEM:
This Silo has the facilities to dispatch food grain both in bulk and bagged form. In bulk it is mainly
delivered by river coaster in Narayangonj Silo and Khulna Steel Silo and through hopper wagon in
Ashugonj, Santaher and Narayangonj Silo. The bagged cargo is delivered mainly through railway
covered wagon and through truck almost in all CSD and LSD in the country.

Bagging - Grain Handling
Bagging of wheat is ensured at the silo (see above)
There is no bagging facility in service at Chittagong port currently. Bagging activities are done by
hand.
Nevertheless, as the need is increasing, GoB envisages the possibility of having a private company
operating such activities in a near future.
Stevedoring
Stevedooring activities are ensured by private companies. Those companies are shortlisted through
a public tender process and renewed every 2 years. See the annexes for a list of stevedores and
berth operating companies.

Port Security
Security at the ports is usually high since these fall under the high risk category of government
installations. Port security is headed by the Director of Security who has a number of Assistant
Directors, Officers and Security Guards to assist him in this task. Security in both the main ports is
ISPS compliant with ISPS level 1 being assigned to it. In addition there is also a contingent of the
armed forces who have been stationed at the port to address emergencies, if any. However no major
incidents of security lapses have been reported at the port.
For more detailed information please refer to the annexes.
