how deep is bangladeshi deep sea port

Bangladesh’s main deep-sea port project at Matarbari is designed for a navigation channel of about 18.7 meters deep, with a commonly cited operational draft of around 14.5 meters for Phase 1.

Quick scoop

  • The port is being built to handle large ships that existing Bangladeshi ports cannot easily accommodate.
  • A 14-kilometre navigation channel has been reported for the project.
  • Some reports also describe the natural seabed depth in the area as about 18.5 meters.

What that means

In practical terms, this makes Matarbari much deeper than Bangladesh’s regular seaports, which are generally shallower and more tide-dependent.

That depth is why it is described as Bangladesh’s first true deep-sea port project.

TL;DR

If you mean the Bangladeshi deep-sea port , the short answer is: about 18.7 meters deep in the channel, with around 14.5 meters operational draft in the first phase.
