Amid the tension of the war in the Middle East, there is uncertainty about Bangladesh’s fuel imports, but several oil and gas ships are on their way to Chittagong port. 8 fuel ships arrived at the port this Sunday (March 8) morning and anchored. The ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz before February 28.
\nPort Secretary Syed Refaet Hamim gave this information. Meanwhile, Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) set a limit on the sale of fuel oil last Friday due to fears of a decrease in the supply of fuel oil in the global market.
\nIt is worth noting that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has been suspended due to the war that started on February 28. Although the ships that left the Strait of Hormuz earlier have returned to the country, the subsequent ships are stuck in various ports in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Dubai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
