Lighter vessels anchored near Chattogram port in the Bay of Bengal wait their turn to unload goods from mother vessels at the outer anchorage. Every day, around 400 lighter ships ferry cargo from mother vessels, feeding much-needed consumer goods and industrial raw materials into the economy, while another 400 wait in queue under a system managed by the Water Transport Cell, a platform of shipowners. The photo was taken near Akmal Ali Road recently.
