Lighter vessel sinks
A lighter vessel containing around 500 metric tones of fertiliser sunk at outer anchorage of the Chittagong port early yesterday.
Port sources said the incident occurred at around 1.00am yesterday when the vessel MV Bengal Bridge was loading TSP off a mother vessel named Alexis-D.
The vessel slowly sunk after loading of around 500MT of fertiliser. But the reason of the accident couldn't be ascertained when this report was filed yesterday.
