Dibrugarh Resumes International Methanol Exports to Bangladesh via Brahmaputra Waterway
Dibrugarh in Assam is set to resume international cargo movement via the Brahmaputra river after nearly 80 years, with two vessels transporting 1,080 tonnes of methanol produced by Assam Petro-Chemicals Limited to Bangladesh. The vessels, refurbished after decades of disuse, will travel approximately 783 kilometres from Bogibeel port to Bangladesh, taking about seven days. The newly operational inland water port includes customs and storage facilities, aiming to boost cost-effective trade and open export opportunities for regional products.
