History
editThe port officially launched its ferry operations on 31 March 1963 with a single ferry called Karnafuli.[5] During Bangladesh liberation war, Mukti Bahini sank one launch, three ferries, one coaster and launch and terminal pontoon in the Ghat.[6]
While once one of the busiest ports, its importance has seen a notable decline. This has been influenced by the availability of alternative land routes and waterways such as the more recent Jamuna Bridge.[5]
