It is a 300-foot by 50-foot three-storey behemoth with a lift and a coronary care unit (CCU).
Yes, we are talking about the biggest and most luxurious launch on Dhaka-Barisal route in Bangladesh -- the Sundarban 10.
The Sundarban-10 launch service, which was opened to public on June 25, instantly became popular among the people who wanted to make their nine-hour journey luxurious.
Moreover, its CCU can make journey of a critically-ill patient smooth and risk-free.
Run by the Sundarban Navigation Company, this 16,000 sqft launch was built locally with a German engine. It took a whole three years to build it, according to the company.
This launch can accommodate 1,300 passengers and hosts a food court, VIP-duplex business class cabins and is equipped with radar, global positioning system and electro hydraulic system.
The vessel can navigate even through heavy fog, says its owner Saidur Rahaman Rintu.
