Medlog’s Pangaon Inland Container Terminal<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Five months after taking over Bangladesh\u2019s underused Pangaon Inland Container Terminal, MSC\u2019s Medlog has attracted a growing roster of exporters and importers.<\/p>\n

It did it by offering significantly lower transport costs and avoiding chronic congestion on the Dhaka-Chittagong highway.<\/p>\n

Pangaon has long operated well below capacity despite its strategic location close to Dhaka, the country\u2019s main manufacturing and consumption hub.<\/p>\n

If Medlog can sustain the current growth, the terminal could become an important alternative gateway for Bangladesh\u2019s trade flows, reducing pressure on roads linking the capital with Chittagong port.<\/p>\n

According to Medlog Bangladesh MD ATM Anisul Millat, in just five months, the company has handled box volumes equivalent to what was processed in an entire year under earlier operators.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome renowned buyers and mainline operators are working with us,\u201d Mr Millat told \u8f7d\u661f<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Medlog, which secured a 22-year lease on the facility in February, has focused on providing end-to-end logistics services, collecting containers from factories, transporting them to the terminal and moving them by barge to and from Chittagong port.<\/p>\n

The strategy is proving attractive because inland waterway transport offers substantial cost savings on trucking.\u00a0For imports, Medlog charges $327 to move a 20ft container from Chittagong to Dhaka by water, compared with around $440 by road. A 40ft box costs $560 against $670.<\/p>\n

Export shipments see even greater savings: $170 for a laden 20ft export container and $280 for a 40ft, from Dhaka to Chittagong, compared with approximately $440 and $570 respectively by road.<\/p>\n

Medlog says it began handling export containers in April, the first time this has been moved through the terminal.<\/p>\n

The company expects annual throughput to double that of previous years and is investing in additional facilities to support further growth.<\/p>\n

Historically, around 70% of Pangaon\u2019s throughput has been import containers. To rebalance volumes, Medlog has renovated the terminal\u2019s container freight station and is developing a cotton warehouse, cold storage facilities, and infrastructure for handling refrigerated cargo \u2013\u00a0\u201cWe want to increase export cargo handling,\u201d said Mr Millat.<\/p>\n

The service is already attracting new users.\u00a0Moin Uddin, a director of a Sheltech Group concern, said his company uses the terminal for shipments to Europe because of its proximity to Dhaka and the quality of service.<\/p>\n

\u201cPangaon terminal is operated by a private company and we get quick service but pay less,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cUntil now the number of users at the terminal is low, compared with its capacity, so we get quality services there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Industry groups are also watching developments closely.<\/p>\n

Inamul Haq Khan, SVP of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association, said many exporters could be persuaded to use the terminal if service levels remained high.<\/p>\n

With Bangladesh\u2019s trade volumes continuing to grow and road bottlenecks becoming increasingly problematic, Medlog\u2019s success at Pangaon could provide a template for shifting more container traffic on to the country\u2019s inland waterways.<\/p>\n
