Another Russian ship carrying machinery for the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP) arrived at Mongla port on Tuesday.
This is the third arrival of a Russian vessel in Bangladesh since the start of the war in Ukraine last February, reports UNB.
The Belize flag carrier, MV UNIWISDOM, carrying 1,421 MT of machinery for the power plant, docked at the port’s jetty-7 in the evening, said Abul Hashem Shamim, Khulna manager of MAC Shipping in Khulna, the vessel's local shipping agent.
Abul Hashem added that the machinery will be later taken to Rooppur Power Plant by road.
Mongla Port Chairman Rear Admiral Mohammad Musa said that most of the goods for the country's mega projects are being imported through this port, due to the existing facilities.
Earlier, two ships carrying equipment for RNPP arrived at Mongla Port on August 1 and 5 respectively.
