Matarbari Power Plant is raising its Head


The whole Matarbari area has changed; The Matarbari power plant is raising its head, the jetty is being prepared. The Panama-flagged Venus Triumph first landed on the jetty for the Matarbari power plant on December 2020. It brought construction materials for the coal power plant. Even four years ago, only salt cultivation could be seen on Matarbari area in Cox's Bazar district. The days have changed and now there are turbines and chimneys peeking out.

Gradually the construction work began to take the shape of a power plant. And plans to build a deep sea port in the far deep sea have also begun to materialize. The work of building a jetty on the shore has already progressed a lot, and ships have also crowded. Intensive day and night work centered on these construction works at Matarbari Power Plant in Maheshkhali Upazila has already radically changed the landscape of this coastal region.


Many in the private sector, including government policy makers, hope that the island in the south of the country will change as it changes its own economy. On the way there, you can see from a distance all the huge cranes standing with their heads up. Thousands of local and foreign workers are working on this huge construction project with cranes and various heavy equipments.

The government's power department is building a 1,200-megawatt coal based power plant with two units of 600 megawatts each at a cost of about BDT 36,000 crore. Work is also underway to build a deep-sea port for coal imports. Initially, the port was for Matarbari power plants, but according to the plan, it is going to be the first deep sea port in the country. Besides, Matarbari will also be developed as a hub for power and industrial production and fuel import. Several government ministries will implement around 68 numbers of projects there step by step.


In addition to terminals for power generation and gas imports, projects for construction of special economic zones and container terminals have been undertaken. State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid Bipu told, “A big energy security zone is being built around Matarbari in Bangladesh. Matarbari is going to play an important role in the positive change of the economy of Bangladesh.” He said $ 10 billion would be invested in various projects in Matarbari, adding that it would increase employment in the country. With the increase in industrial production, there will be an increase in GDP.


To protect the entire project area, including the Matarbari power plant, from natural disasters, thousands of bighas of land have been filled with sand and soil and raised a few meters above the sea level. In addition to the power plant, thousands of local and foreign workers are spending their time in the construction work including the jetty. Abul Kalam Azad, director of the Matarbari coal power plant project, said "About 56 percent of the project work has been completed. I hope that the first unit of the power plant will come into production in January 2024 and the second unit in July. Now the work of the power plant is going on. Everything needed for the power plant including boilers, turbines, chimneys is in progress. Dams have been built all around.” He said the work of the 14.3 km long naval channel, which is 18 and a half meters deep, has already been completed for the deep sea port. However, the naval channel has been widened from 350 meters to 250 meters. The rest is ongoing.


The Bangladesh government, in collaboration with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), took initiative to set up the power plant on 1,414 acres of land in Matarbari and Dhalghata Union of Maheshkhali. Work started in 2018 beyond the planning stage. All parties, including government policy makers, have long spoken of the need for a deep-sea port in Bangladesh for the growing import-export trade. Although the present government has given priority to the construction of a deep sea port at Sonadia in Maheshkhali, no progress has been made so far.

In such a context, the government initially mentioned a port for the coal-based Matarbari power plant, but later it turned into a commercial port. When the construction work of this port is completed, ships with a capacity of 80 thousand MT will be able to dock in this port with a channel of 59 feet depth. A press release from Toshiba Corporation of Japan, one of Matarbari power plant contractors for the project, said earlier that the deep-sea port to be built with Japan's state-of-the-art Matarbari power plant would be similar to Japan's Kashima port.


Two jetties will now be used for coal power plants at this deep sea port. In addition, a dozen more jetties will be used for other commercial purposes. Project Director said, “Two jetties are already ready, one for coal, the other for oil. Once the channel is ready, the shipping ministry will build six jetties first and six more later."

In August 2015, the government approved a project worth Tk 36,000 crore to build a coal power plant at Matarbari. According to the working paper of the project approved by the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council, ECNEC, JICA will provide Rs 29,000 crore for the Matarbari power plant project. Then, on 27 July, 2017, the government's Coal Power Generation Company signed an agreement with the Japanese consortium Sumitomo Corporation, Toshiba Corporation and IHI Corporation to build a 1,200-megawatt power plant and deep-sea port there.

Chattogram | The Commercial Capital of Bangladesh


Bangabandhu Industrial City (Shilpa Nagari) is being built on about 30,000 acres of land in Mirsarai, Chittagong (Chattogram). The country's first tunnel is being built beneath the Karnafuli River. There will be two Chinese economic zones in Anwara upazila. Construction work is going on to build an aesthetically elevated expressway. Bay-Terminal and Patenga Container Terminal (PTC) are being built on the seashore for the future economic prosperity. City Outer Ring Road has been constructed. The train will go to Cox's Bazar from Chittagong. Four mega projects to alleviate water logging problems in the city. Four flyovers have been helpful in reducing traffic congestion. The commercial capital Bangladesh Chittagong is changing rapidly for some economic and communication development project. This development is adding new dimensions to economic prosperity of the country where Chittagong is one of the charioteers in this progress.

The largest seaport of the country is in Chattogram. It is the second largest commercial city in the country. Chittagong is called the queen of the east, it is one of the main centers of trade and commerce in the country. The largest shipyard in the subcontinent is at Chittagong. 93 percent of import and export goods are transported through the Chattogram port. Around 65% of the Government Revenue is collected through Chittagong Port and Custom House. Chittagong is also unique in terms of geographical location. As a result, businessmen and economists think that the development of Chittagong means the development of the country. The Bangabandhu Tunnel, Marine Drive and Bangabandhu Industrial City - all three projects are related to the national economy. Cox's Bazar can be reached from Dhaka via Shilpnagar - Marine Drive - Karnafuli Tunnel. If the communication system is enriched, new industries will be formed and new employment opportunity will be created. After implementing these projects, it will be a business corridor. Then Chittagong will be like Singapore.

All of these mega projects will play a big role in the development of Bangladesh. National connectivity will increase. In the future, domestic and foreign investment will be attracted in the industrial cities. There will be a radical change in Chittagong. Fortunately for Chittagong, there is an international port here. Previously, industrial and communication infrastructure was not created. However, the present government is implementing some development projects on priority basis. When these works are completed, not only Chittagong but the country will get huge benefits. Chittagong will get a new title in the development. The projects under implementation are undoubtedly commendable. However, the faster these are implemented, the better for the country and the business community. Every project is very important, the national economy is directly involved with each project.


Bangabandhu Industrial City (Shilpa Nagari):

Asia's largest Bangabandhu Industrial City is being developed in Mirsarai, Sitakunda Upazila of Chittagong under the initiative of Bangladesh Economic Zone Authority (BEZA). Meanwhile, the construction of factories of 13 industrial establishments in this zone is at the final stage. There will be various services including industries, housing, health, tourism facilities, entertainment etc. Gas, Electricity and Water connections have been provided in the industrial city. There will be a port for loading and unloading goods. A four-lane road named 'Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Sarani' has been connected to the Dhaka-Chittagong highway. In the future it will be upgraded to eight lanes. A high dam has been built to protect the industrial city from the sea water. There is a new 'Sheikh Hasina Sarobar' on 100 acres of land. There will be aesthetic tourist centers, scenic fountains. International standard five star hotels and resorts will be built on 112 acres of land. BGMEA Garments Palli will be on 500 acres of land. 25 separate zones will be implemented. In order to travel in the project area, internal roads including 10 km four lane connecting road have been constructed through Dhaka-Chittagong highway. If the project is implemented, 15 to 20 lac people will be employed by 2030.

 

Bangabandhu Tunnel:

The country's first 'Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Tunnel' is being constructed beneath the Karnafuli River in Chittagong. The progress of the construction work is already 75 percent. The construction work is going on with the plan to complete it by December 2022. The tunnel will start from the side of Patenga Naval Academy in Chittagong city and connect between KAFCO and CUFL border on the south bank of the river. Through this, the 'One City Two Town' system will be developed in the style of Shanghai. Bangabandhu Tunnel is being implemented through Bangladesh Bridge Authority in the manner of Government of Bangladesh and China (G2G). On 24 February 2019, the Prime Minister inaugurated the construction of the tunnel. The total cost of the project is 10,374.42 crore BDT. There will be a total of 5.35 km connecting road at both ends of the river with the main tunnel. There is a 727 meter long flyover in Anwara section. Work on the first tube, which started from the Patenga outskirts of the city, was completed on August 2020. Work of the second tube from the Anwara edge began in December 2020. Work is also underway on the connecting road of Patenga and Anwara sections of the tunnel and over bridge in Anwara section. If the tunnel is implemented, South Chittagong will change. Communication with Cox's Bazar will be easier. Industrial zones and factories will be built.


Chattogram Elevated Expressway:

The Chittagong Development Authority (CDA) is implementing an Elevated Expressway from Lalkhan Bazar to Shah Amanat Airport. About 60 percent of the work has already been completed. Work is underway to complete it by 2023. The project costing Tk 3,250.83 crore was approved at the ECNEC meeting on July, 2017. On 24 February 2019, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the construction work. Work is being implemented in four stages from Lalkhan Bazar to Barik Building, from Barik Building Junction to Saltgola Crossing, from Saltgola to Cement Crossing and from Cement Crossing to the Beach. The 16.5 kilometer four-lane project is about 20 kilometers long with ramps and loops, it 54 feet wide. Each ramp will have two lanes. There will be 24 ramps in 9 points of the elevated expressway. There will be four ramps at Tiger Pass, four at Agrabad, two at Barik Building, two at Nimtali, two at Customs Crossing, four at CEPZ, two at KEPZ, two at Kathgarh and two at Patenga Beach. Vehicles will run on elevated expressways just like flyovers. With the construction of the elevated expressway, the airport can be reached from the city in just 30 minutes which will save two hours of journey time. Foreign investment will increase. Traffic congestion will be reduced in the city. Tourism sector will be developed. Goods will be brought from Chittagong port to all over the country through this road.


Bay-Terminal:

The Bay-Terminal is called the 'Port of Today and Tomorrow'. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the construction work on the sea coast of Patenga-Halishahar on November, 2018 to increase the capacity of Chittagong Port in line with import-export and economic growth. Work is underway to complete the construction by 2024. The Bay Terminal is to be built on 2,500 acres of land, including 1,600 acres raised from the sea, in addition to 871 acres of privately owned and government land on the coast. Already 68 acres of privately owned land has been acquired and 803 acres of land is in the process of acquisition. According to the preliminary study, the estimated cost of the project is Two Billion BDT. The import-export goods handling capacity of Chittagong port will be five times more if the Bay Terminal is constructed. Ships are now docked at the jetty based on the tides in the port and the mother vessels are taking berth at the outer anchorage. The Bay Terminal will be able to accommodate ships at the jetty and Mother Vessel will be able to berth. This will save time and money of transporting goods.


Patenga Container Terminal:

The Patenga Container Terminal (PCT) is being constructed at a cost of Tk 1,800 crore. About 75 percent of the project has already been completed. Work started in July 2017. This is a big project to increase the capacity of Chittagong port. With the introduction of PCT which is under construction on 32 acres of land, more than four lac TEUS containers can be handled annually. For the first time in the country this terminal is being constructed with rust-resistant and salinity-tolerant iron, which will prolong the general durability. The container terminal project has a 600 meter long jetty on 32 acres of land. Four ships can be berthed here. There will be a 200 meter long dolphin jetty and 1 lac 12 thousand square meters of internal yard and road.


Four projects to alleviate water logging:

Three Government service agencies have taken up four major projects to alleviate the accursed waterlogging in Chittagong city. More than 10,803 crore taka allocated for four projects. All four projects are ongoing. Chattogram Development Authority (CDA) is implementing a project worth BDT 5,616.49 crore for Re-excavation, expansion, renovation and development of canals to alleviate waterlogging in the city. CDA is implementing another project titled 'Construction of road from Kalurghat Bridge to Chaktai canal along the banks of Karnafuli River at a cost of Tk 2,310 crore. The Water Development Board approved a project worth Tk 1,620.73 crore in February 2019 entitled 'Development of flood control, submergence or drainage in Chittagong metropolis'. The project is expected to be completed in June 2022. Besides, ECNEC on June, 2014 approved a new three-kilometer canal excavation project 'Construction of road from Kalurghat bridge to Chaktai canal along the banks of Karnafuli river' at a cost of Tk 290 crore to alleviate water logging.


Chittagong City Outer Ring Road:

CDA is constructing a 17 km long city outer ring road from Patenga to Fauzdarhat at a cost of Tk 2,500 crore. The Ring Road will be connected to the Karnafuli Tunnel and Marine Drive. If the projects are implemented, the vehicles going from Dhaka to Cox's Bazar will go to Cox's Bazar through Fauzdarhat via City Outer Ring Road using Karnafuli Tunnel. The Patenga Sea Beach has undergone a radical change for the Chittagong City Outer Ring Road project. Under the project, beautification work has been done in an area of ​​five kilometers. As a result of the overall development, the sea view is going to be enjoyed from four levels on the beach. The project includes a 30-foot-high coastal protection dam to protect it from tidal surges. A 100 feet wide road has been constructed over the embankment.

Natural Gas in Bangladesh | Reserve for next 100 Years


Reserves of valuable minerals including Monazite, Zircon, Rutile, Calcium Carbonate, Phosphorus, Sulphate and Rare earth elements have been found in an area of around ​​3,100 Square Km at the bottom of the Bay of Bengal. In addition, a potential 100 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserve has been found at the bottom of the ocean, with which it is possible to meet the demand of Natural Gas in Bangladesh for the next 100 years.

At present, Reserve of Natural Gas in Bangladesh will be able to serve the country for next 14 years only. Researchers of our country think that in order to develop the Blue Economy of Bangladesh through efficient use of marine resources and the invented technology should be used at the field level. Natural gas in Bangladesh is one of the main resources for the overall development of the country.


This information was given recently by the speakers and researchers at a seminar titled 'Efficient Use and Challenges of Marine Resources for the Development of Blue Economy' organized at the auditorium of Bangladesh Oceanographic Research Institute (BORI) at Pechar Dwip, Cox's Bazar. Cox's Bazar Marine Fisheries and Technology Center Chief Scientific Officer Mr. Shafiqur Rahman presented the keynote address at the seminar.

Shafiqur Rahman said, ‘Bangladesh has the exclusive marine economic zone up to about 200 nautical miles in the sea, but on an average we are able to use only 30 nautical miles. In addition, commercial trawlers are not allowed to fish at depths below 40 meters, but they do not comply. Due to lack of fishing experience in the deep sea level, the fishermen of our country are fishing near the coastline. However, some fishermen are being brought from Sri Lanka for training purposes so that our fishermen can also bring fish from the deep sea.


Dr. Shafiq said, ‘Lots of Artemia are imported from abroad every year for use as pony food in hatcheries. But three decades ago, scientists of our country have successfully invented the technology to produce Artemia. Scientists of Bangladesh have invented many technologies in the past for the economic development for the people of this country. But that technology was not used at the field level. In order to develop Blue Economy of Bangladesh, it is not only necessary to innovate the technology, it is also necessary to use that technology at the practical level'.


A total of seven articles including research results of Bangladesh Oceanographic Research Institute for the financial year 2019-20 were presented in the seminar. At the seminar, Mohammad Zakaria, Senior Scientific Officer, Department of Geological Oceanography, Marine Research Institute, presented the results of a geological survey of rare mineral resources at the bottom of the Bay of Bengal. Valuable minerals including monazite, zircon, rutile, calcium carbonate, phosphorus, sulphate and rare earth elements have been found in an area of ​​3,100 sq km at the bottom of the Bay of Bengal. In addition, a potential 100 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserve for Bangladesh has been found at the bottom of the ocean, with which we will be able to meet our next 100 years of natural gas demand. At present, natural gas in Bangladesh has only 14 years of reserves.

During the seminar, Mr. Tariqul Islam, Scientific Officer, Department of Chemical Oceanography, Mr. Rupak Lodh and Mr. Shahinur Rahman, Scientific Officer, Department of Physical and Space Oceanography, Scientific Officer, Department of Environmental and Climate Research, Department of Oceanography Officers Mir Kashem and Sultan Al Nahyan and Tania Islam, Scientific Officer at the Oceanography Data Center, presented research papers on the potential of depleted food stocks.

Iti Rani Poddar, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Science and Technology, was the chief guest at the seminar, which was chaired by Mr. Shafiqur Rahman, Director General, Bangladesh Oceanographic Research Institute. In addition, the director of the Atomic Energy Commission beach mineral sand extraction center took part in the discussion. Mohammad Masud Karim, Deputy Director of the Department of Environment Sheikh Nazmul Huda, Fisheries expert Palash Khandaker, Ecolife Manager Md. Abdul Qayyum, industrialist Omar Hasan, journalist Ahmad Gias and others.

Bangladesh currently has demand for 3.7 billion cubic feet natural gas per day (bcfd), whereas the gas supply is 2.7bcfd - a massive shortage of 1bcfd of natural gas every day. The reserve of Natural Gas in Bangladesh will be able to run the country for next 14 years. So the government should take proper decisions and steps to utilize the reserved 100 trillion cubic feet of natural gas found beneath the Bay of Bengal.

 

Thanks,

  • Digital Island-Maheshkhali project

 

Recent progress reports of these projects have indicated that most of the projects are in the right direction.


Dohazari-Ramu to Cox's Bazar to Ghumudhum railway line: The project is being implemented at a cost of more than BDT 18 thousand crore with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) funding. The overall physical progress of the project is satisfactory. If the government-initiated projects for road connectivity are implemented, connectivity with different countries of South Asia will be increased. The project is expected to be completed by the year 2022.


Cox's Bazar International Airport Project: The project of upgrading Cox's Bazar existing Airport to an International Standard Airport was inaugurated by the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on July, 2015. The existing runway of the airport will be increased from 6775 feet to 9000 feet. The cost of this project is more than BDT 11 thousand crore. Project development work is running in full progress. These include construction of shelter projects, construction of roads and bridges, and construction of BWDB's embankments etc.


Matarbari Coal Electricity Plant: The ultra-super-critical technology based coal-based power plant will be built on total 1,414 acres of land at Matarbari and Dhalghata Union of Maheshkhali. The expected project cost is more than BDT 35 thousand crore. The Japanese government will finance the project. The progress report said that other works are in line as per the work plan and the project is expected to be completed within 2023.


Sonadia deep sea port: At present no detail information is available about its progress. Japan's Pacific Consultant International (PCI) has completed a technical and economic study and survey to build a deep sea port in Sonadia Island, Coxsbazar. Although initially it was planned to be constructed on a public-private partnership (PPP) basis, it has now been decided to build on a government-to-government (G2G) basis. Other countries, including China, India and the United Kingdom, have shown initial interest about this project.


LNG Terminal at Maheshkhali: A Floating Storage and Registration Unit (FSRU) floated in the Bay of Bengal near Maheshkhali. The huge ship-cum-terminal was brought from Qatar by liquefied natural gas or LNG. It converts the liquid fuel into gas and sends it to Chattogram through a 90 km long pipeline. The floating terminal arrived in Maheshkhali on April 2018. The project is being implemented with built on operating and transfer method. In addition to the construction of LNG terminal, parallel pipeline construction of Maheshkhali-Anwara gas transmission pipeline, construction of Anwara-Fouzdarhat gas circulation pipeline and construction of Chittagong-Feni-Bakhrabad gas transmission pipeline are also involved.


Submarine base of the Navy in Pekua: To construct a submarine base the Bangladesh Navy has acquired around 333 acres of land in Magnama Mouja under Pekua upazila. An allotment of BDT 63 crore has already been made for land compensation and the land has been handed over to the prospecting company.


Ramu National Oceanic Research Institute: Under the Ministry of Science and Information and Communication Technology, 29.5 acres of land was provided in the Pechardip Mouja area in Ramu upazila for setting up the National Oceanic Research Institute. The project was inaugurated by the Prime Minister after completing construction work at a cost of more than BDT 80 crore. Currently the activities of the research institute are underway.


Sabrang Tourism Park of Teknaf (Special Economic Zone): With the permission of Land Ministry and acquisition of 1139 acres of land has already been handed over to BEZA (Bangladesh Economic Zone Authority). BEZA has completed the feasibility evaluation process. Currently, the BWDB, LGED, RHD and Rural Electrification Boards have adopted plans for development activities in the applicable field. The project was inaugurated by the Prime Minister through a video conference 2016.


Jaliardwip Exclusive Tourist Zone (Naf Tourism Park) of Teknaf: For the establishment of Jalliyar dwip Exclusive Tourist Zone, 271 acres of land at Jaliar deep in Naf River has been handed over to Bangladesh Economic Zone Authority (BEZA). In addition, the Forest Department has approved 21.12 acres of land for use as road to Jaliaradwip Exclusive Tourist Zone (Naf Tourism Park). With the help of a German-based company, the project will develop a variety of entertainment mediums, including long cable cars, to entertain tourists.


Khurushkul shelter project: A special shelter project was undertaken on 253.35 acres of land at Khurushkul Mouza on the eastern side of the Bakkhali river to rehabilitate 4409 landless families living illegally on Government land on the west side of Cox's Bazar Airport. A Sheikh Hasina tower and 149 multi-storeyed buildings will be constructed for the rehabilitation.

The present government has a special focus on making Cox's Bazar a developed and perfect tourist city. Therefore, the current government is planning to implement various development projects in Cox's Bazar. In the last years, the government has approved 25 mega development projects in Cox's Bazar. Therefore, they need to be implemented at the right time.

Thus, the image of Bangladesh will be completely changed after 15 years if the development continuity is maintained. Business will be boosted and will create employment opportunity. At the same time, a large part of the national revenue will be acquired from Cox's Bazar.

Thanks,
