Ports play an important role in economic development by facilitating international trade. Sea ports in Bangladesh face issues like poor infrastructure, inefficiencies, and lack of capital that have hindered economic progress. Public-private partnerships are being implemented and have potential to address challenges and help modernize ports in Bangladesh. The government needs broader policies that consider ports within the context of related economic sectors.

- 1. Assignment On Sea port Management In Bangladesh Introduction : Almost every country in the world has one or more sea port who has off shore iseland or costal area.Because in thiscompetitive world a country can not progress its self without better shipping facilities and developed sea port.Basically for this purpose the developed and developing countries like Bangladesh are trying their best to make their ports more digital and effective for both their and the whole world. In the present era of integrated global economy, role of sea ports has shifted greatly from mere geographical gateway to transportation hub. Therefore, it requires efficient service delivery in ports as well as in other associated areas to ensure competitiveness of port in the global market. However, Bangladeshi sea ports are not yet considered efficient to the global standard in terms of both technical and non-technical issues. This study draws attention, besides technical efficiency, to various issues of sea port management in Bangladesh.which is required for the competitive pursuit. It also analyzed problems and prospects of Bangladeshi sea ports through interviewing experts in ports management. This study found operational inefficiency, infrastructural bottleneck, backward transportation network, poor ICT usages, difficulties in overall financial system, etc. as the most pressing problems in port management in Bangladesh. Conversely, having Sub-South Asian hinterland is a great opportunity for the port development in Bangladesh. To accrue utmost benefits from the ports, ensuring overall congenial environment addressing multi-sectoral issues for smooth op, eration of port is very essential in Bangladesh. The study concludes that if Bangladesh Government wants to develop, ports are to be considers a much wider spectrum of economic subsectors and appropriate policy has to be designed accordingly.

- 2. Definition : There is not any proper definition of aa sea port. But we can give some definition by our own. But some time it won't be correct. May be For that some time we try to get help fome Internet to make a proper definition. A seaport is a facility which can accommodate ships which go out to sea. Seaports can be found in natural and artificial harbors along many coastlines in the world, and they have a variety of fixtures including cranes to help ships handle cagos and docks for ships to attach. Seaports are of economic and strategic importance to the nations which hold them, because they can be used for everything from shipping out a nation's consumer products to loading up troop ships to sail to war. This might be Correct. But men are not satisfied without their own ideas and thought.I am also not different from the nature of humans Satisfaction. I think,In general, A port which has a direct connection with an ocen or sea and has a good width and depth to entire a cargo or passengers ships without any problems and also have a good facilities to deliver the ships and the systems of customs clearing and forwarding will must be world class.With these qualities we can call a port is a sea port. Ports can also be found in inland waters such as lakes and rivers, but they are not known as seaports because they do not have facilities for seagoing ships. In some cases, inland ports have no outlet to the ocean, and in other instances, the waterway may not be navigable by oceangoing ships. Not all seagoing ships can fit in a seaport, either: large oil tankers, for example, actually dock offshore while smaller tenders load and offload their cargo.

A typical seaport includes equipment and facilities for handling and storing cargo, such as warehouses and cranes, along with amenities which are designed to appeal to people coming into port, such as restaurants and hotels. Ship building and repair companies are typically located near ports for the convenience of their clients, and sea ports may also have facilities for quarantine and other special needs; a well- designed port may allow people to get everything they need without straying more than a few blocks away from their ship. Seaports perform different type of operations: Seaports are points of convergence of inland and coastal transportation systems, defining a seaport's hinterland. This function may be direct, as freight reaches a port directly through road transportation, or indirect as freight reaches a seaport through an inland port (e.g., rail station) or through traffic consolidation at a regional seaport and shipped by coastal transportation. Likewise, seaports are points of distribution to inland and coastal transportation systems, defining a seaport's foreland. • Embarking, disembarking and transferring of passengers and crew Loading, unloading and transshipment of cargo to and from the vessels • Storage and warehousing of merchandise on land and stevedoring to and from vessels • Provide inland access and intermodal connections • Complementary services to shipping carriers The main functions of seaports are: • To ensure safety for seagoing vessels entering, operation in and leaving the seaport • To provide facilities and equipment necessary for seagoing vessels Created By: Alamgir Hossain Email: [email protected]

Because they vary hugely in geographical location there can be many differences in the ways that they operate and deal with traffic and cargo. One of the keys to the safe navigation and utilisation of seaports is the availability of accurate and up to date port data. This can come in the form of port guides, port plans and a port directory. A port database will contain information on anything from approach information to cargo types. Seaports broadly fall into three categories which are • Cruise port • Ports of call • Cargo ports 5.

- 5. Ports have been working as catalysts of economic development, and most of the developed cities around the world are situated on the bank of different rives and are virtuous because of their ports. Historically, Chittagong port was the gateway of trade in this region. Though could not subdue fully the economic distress of the people of this region, still along with the other ports, it has been playing significant role in Bangladesh economy. Bangladeshi ports could not ensure economic progress at the desired level due to pitfall of poor infrastructure and connectivity, inefficiency, absence of international cooperation, etc. Moreover, absence of capital required for invigorating ports was also very scarce resource for Bangladesh, which hindered adoption of new technology and greater yield by the ports. However, recently PPP had been evolved as a very effective way of channeling private resources for public cause in an artful manner. Mongla seaport already has experienced PPP and 13 land ports are in this process. It is expected that PPP will be very helpful to materialize the goals of Bangladeshi seaports. Nevertheless, in the present penetration of PPP in different areas of transportation and port development, attention is not sufficient. The Government has to consider a much wider spectrum of economic subsectors and has to design appropriate policy for the development of ports. Created By: Alamgir Hossain Email: [email protected]
