Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) has before it for consideration proposals for funding two more container terminals in Chittagong (Bangladesh) to cope with the growing container traffic of the port. According to one estimate, the port's container throughput has, on average, been growing at 14 per cent per annum.

It might be noted that the port is currently building two container terminals — New Mooring Container Terminal (NMCT) and Port Park Container Terminal (PPCT).

While the work on NMCT, estimated to cost taka 4.3 billion, is nearing completion, the ground-breaking work on PPCT, estimated to cost taka 470 million, is expected soon. JBIC is studying multi-sectoral infrastructure development in Chittagong, covering not only probable port projects but also other infrastructure such as roads, water supply, power generation and telecommunication links for the port city. The work on the study started in September last year and is expected to be over soon.
