A vessel was detained at Chittagong Port for five days due to a compensation dispute following a collision, according to port officials. The incident occurred earlier this week, and the ship was only allowed to depart after the dispute was resolved.
Details of the collision and the amount of compensation demanded have not been disclosed by authorities. The delay caused minor disruptions to port operations, but normal activities have since resumed.
Chittagong Port, Bangladesh's main seaport, handles the majority of the country's maritime trade. Such disputes are occasionally resolved through negotiation between the parties involved.
