CONSULTING SERVICES RELATED TO DEEP SEA PORT IN SONADIA
2. BackgroundBangladesh is situated in South Asia with a long coastline of about 580 km along theBay of Bengal. It has two sea ports. Chittagong in the south-east and Mongla in the
south-west. International sea borne trade of Bangladesh has been using these two sea
ports, with about 92% passing through Chittagong Port. The Main port installations of
the Chittagong Port are situated along the banks of the river Karnafuli about 16 km
from its outfall into the Bay of Bengal. The Mongla Port is located at the confluence
of Pussur River and Mongla Nulla about 130 km inland from the bay. The maximum
permissible drafts at the Chittagong Port ranges from 8.50 m to 9.20m with length
restriction of vessels being 186 m. The maximum permissible draft at Mongla Port
ranges from 7m to 8.5 m with length restriction of vessels being 225m. Therefore, the
major problem confronting the two sea ports in Bangladesh is the limited draft andlength, which prohibit the entry and berthing of large vessels in the ports. As a
consequence lighterage is required for a substantial portion of the import trade from
anchorages in the Bay.
Also the trend towards containerization persists and Bangladesh container traffic is
growing on average @ 12% p.a. Containers are being carried to these ports by feeder
vessels from Singapore, Malaysia and Colombo. The present trend in world shipping
is to have bigger ships to derive economy of scale, but Bangladesh cannot realize the
benefit due to limitations of its ports. The total tonnage of sea borne trade of
Bangladesh is now over 32 million tones, which is growing on average @ 10% p.a.
At present, eight export processing zones are operating in Bangladesh and more are
expected to come up in the future. In addition, cargo can also be expected from Nepal,
Bhutan. And possibly the northern part of China and the landlocked north-eastern
states of India. To ensure proper services to the export processing zones and to serve
the regional markets, deep draft vessels are necessary. Since there is no operational
deep-sea port in Myanmar and also on the east coast of India, there is possibility that a
deep sea port in Bangladesh can provide services to these areas in addition to
supporting Chittagong and Mongla Port in handling increased volume of export
import cargoes.
Bangladesh economy is mainly based on import both in value and volume lean. The
average maritime dependency factor is about 30% and 33% of annual revenue of the
country is drawn form direct import tax only. With a population of about 141 million
the economy is moving rapidly towards market economy. The Bangladesh
government has emphasized diversifying its economy away from agriculture and has
made industrial development a priority. In this backdrop the importance of an
efficient port is unquestionable.
The Bangladesh Government has also adopted the policy of promoting the
development of infrastructure projects including ports through PPP for facilitating
accelerated economic growth through the sufficient provision of infrastructure and to

should be proposed to be carried out. Additional data collection may
include (but not be limited to):
1. bathymetrical,2. topo-graphical,3. quarry,4. soils and seabed investigations.
viii. In addition, data may need to be collected on coastal processesincluding tidal observations, current measurements and sediment
sampling.
ix. If required, Consulting firm will draft Terms of References foradditional survey campaigns and assist in letting the same works.
Consulting firm will supervise the execution of the survey campaigns
(of crucial importance for any sub-soil investigations) and incorporate
the findings of the campaigns in the following steps of the design
exercise.
1. Retrieving Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler2. Compilation of design criteria
x. Following the collection of all data, the data will be analysed andprocessed to compile all required design criteria. The studies will
determine the key parameters for the design of the breakwater.
Amongst other this will cover the assessment of wave and tidal
conditions at the site and will include the following:
1. Assessment of water levels (tide, surge, sea level rise)2. Assessment of waves (offshore and near shore)3. Assessment of tidal currents4. Assessment of geotechnical design parameters
7/28/2019 TERMS OF REFERENCE.pdf

2. Offshore to near shore wave transformations to assess waveconditions at the location of the breakwater
3. Current modeling to assess current patterns around thebreakwater
4. Wave penetration to assess wave conditions behind thebreakwater
5. Sediment transport modeling to assess sedimentation anderosion around the breakwater
xii. The mathematical modeling exercises can be carried out locally byWMA using internationally recognised software from any recognized
Hydraulics Institute. Alternatively, it may also be subcontracted to
specialized institutes.
xiii. When contemplating the basic design of the breakwaters, a range ofbreakwater types should be considered. These include:
1. Rubble mound breakwaters (composed of rock and/or concretearmour units), either statically or dynamically stable,
submerged or emerged (with or without overtopping)
2. Monolithic breakwaters (like a caisson, block wall or masonrystructure), generally emerged and with limited overtopping
3. Composite breakwaters (combining a monolithic element witha rubble mound berm or base), generally emerged and with
limited overtopping
xiv. The optimum choice of breakwater design should be made byconsidering the following factors:
1. Availability of construction materials (and costs)2. Site conditions (soil and water)3. Methods of construction4. Future maintenance of the structures5. Wave penetration to assess wave conditions behind the
breakwater
