The Supplemental Assistance to Selected Projects Project seeks to provide the Port of Chittagong with adequate capacity for handling the expected growth in general cargo and container traffic through the early 1990's. This will be achieved through the construction of two multipurpose berths suitable for servicing general cargo as well as container vessels and by improving the throughput of the existing berths by providing new cargo-handling equipment and by training of the port workers.
